Employment Policies are almost always written to overcome some undesirable consequence.  Something happens that shouldn't and we want to create a rule or policy about it to stop it happening again.

Policy manuals are developed to help staff and management run the organisation and can often save countless hours of management time.  They are basically a set of business rules that determine how your organisation will operate and the image that your company will portray.

The following policies are guidelines for controlling employee behaviour and conduct in the workplace.
