HR MANUAL
HR MANUAL is the total guidelines for the managers in the
organization on the subject of HUMAN RESOURCE.
The real work of managing people [ human resource] is the
responsibility of the line managers. The HR department
acts as a coordinator / advisory body to the line managers,
in addition to, its own administrative work.
Employee handbook is a major element of the HR manual.
It is part of the HR MANUAL.
The copy of HR MANUAL [ including the employee handbook]
is given to the managers only.
The copy of the EMPLOYEE handbook is given to the
employees.
=================================================
The TOTAL HR MANUAL development is a never ending
assignment. It needs updating every six months.
At the initial stage, it could take upto six months at least
to complete the manual/ handbook for a full time person,
even if you employ an outside expert.
Once you have downloaded HR manual list, you should
sit with your boss
-analyse the list
-set the priority [ 1st. lot, 2nd. lot, 3rd. lot etc ]
-discuss the need for HO material, to uniform the approach
-discuss the need for local expert
etc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your priorities could be [ my best guess]
-personnel records
-various forms required
-access control
-workplace rules
-employee hiring
-job descriptions
-employment applications
-interviewing applicants
-payroll administration
-training [ induction / orientation/development]
-employee handbook
You/ Your senior management should agree to the priority list.

APPENDIX 2 SAMPLE JOB DESCRIPTIONS
=========================================
HR MANUAL
HR MANUAL is the total guidelines for the managers in the
organization on the subject of HUMAN RESOURCE.
The real work of managing people [ human resource] is the
responsibility of the line managers. The HR department
acts as a coordinator / advisory body to the line managers,
in addition to, its own administrative work.
Employee handbook is a major element of the HR manual.
It is part of the HR MANUAL.
The copy of HR MANUAL [ including the employee handbook]
is given to the managers only.
The copy of the EMPLOYEE handbook is given to the
employees.
=================================================
The TOTAL HR MANUAL development is a never ending
assignment. It needs updating every six months.
At the initial stage, it could take upto six months at least
to complete the manual/ handbook for a full time person,
even if you employ an outside expert.
Once you have downloaded HR manual list, you should
sit with your boss
-analyse the list
-set the priority [ 1st. lot, 2nd. lot, 3rd. lot etc ]
-discuss the need for HO material, to uniform the approach
-discuss the need for local expert
etc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your priorities could be [ my best guess]
-personnel records
-various forms required
-access control
-workplace rules
-employee hiring
-job descriptions
-employment applications
-interviewing applicants
-payroll administration
-training [ induction / orientation/development]
-employee handbook
You/ Your senior management should agree to the priority list.
==================================================
NOW YOU ARE READY FOR THE HARD WORK
-PREPARING THE GROUNDWORK.
