Hi all, I have joined an IT company 7 months ago. There has been no HR in this company ever since it started. Hence, there have been no written policies. The senior person heading the organization also joined about 9 months ago. He has been handling things well so far. However, I believe there should be a company policy or HR policy document outlining the different policies the company offers to its employees.
Queries on Drafting Company Policies
I would like to receive answers to the following queries:
- Which policies should I include when drafting the policy document?
- Are an employee handbook and company policy the same or different?
- Can the policy document be amended to introduce new changes?
- What precautions should I consider when drafting the policies?
- Do policies vary from position to position, or are they the same for both senior and middle management personnel?
Please advise.
Regards,

Understanding Company Policies
A policy is like an accepted law in a company. You can refer to any policy specialist for the same. Being a lawyer, we can help you as well.
You can change the policies. It's not a problem. For a small company, it may not be worth investing too much time in this. You would rather go by existing laws that help manage day-to-day affairs rather than having special rules.
