The objectives:
·
To explore your HR topic from a
perspective that provides you with information about common (or best) HR practices in organizations
·
Assume the employer has no current
policy or practice in place on your topic, and plans to implement this program
or system, and write a Policy & Procedure for an organization, that
includes:
·
The purpose of the P&P,
which should express the organization’s values that apply to this topic
·
Which employees (job titles) or
departments will be responsible for what tasks under this policy
·
Identify any federal laws,
guidelines, statutes, or codes covering your topic, with which employers must
comply and why (very briefly)
·
Any other critical components, as
suggested in the literature
An example Policy & Procedure document
is posted in the Week 6 Assignment 3 area.
It is only an example. Groups may
determine that more or less is needed.

Format the document as you
would a regular, organizational P&P document. APA is not required, EXCEPT:
