What is a HR policy?
Your HR Glossary questions, answered
A HR policy is a formal document that standardises and outlines organisational rules, expectations and procedures for various processes across the business. HR policies cover everything from pay and expected working hours and locations, to claiming expenses and booking leave, to dealing with a grievance and what to do when calling in sick. Having a policy on important aspects of workforce management like this ensures consistency, fairness, legal compliance and transparency for both employees and their employers, making it paramount that HR policies are stuck to and followed every time they are needed.
