Policies and Procedures
Although many small businesses may not have the time or resources to develop employment policies and procedures, having some appropriate procedures in place may help to minimize your exposure to an employment liability suit. The following links provide some sample policies, procedures and forms that may be helpful in the absence of other employment policies and procedures. These can help you communicate your personnel policies and employment best practices to your employees. These also can be used either individually or included as components of a more extensive employee handbook.

PLEASE NOTE - These documents are guidelines. Since laws vary from state to state, it's best to consult with your legal counsel to tailor the policies and forms to your particular situation. Many forms require you to insert designated names and numbers and other information. These appear in brackets throughout the documents.
