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.
Formatting:
Format the document as you
would a regular, organizational P&P document. APA is not required, EXCEPT:
Add a cover page so I know who
contributed to the paper,
Add a running head
Include your references page at
the end.
Reference
Requirements:
At least three (3)
peer-reviewed journal articles
At least two (2) sources from a
federal government web site (a “.com” web site is not acceptable)

Length:
A policy and procedure is
typically 2-6 pages long.
Limit your work to 6 pages, plus your references page.
Include a cover page, in
APA formatting, with each group member’s name.
If a member did not contribute and participate, do not include
the student’s name on the cover page, regardless of the reason.
The following are the same as

students use the writing, research, and APA documents posted in Course Content
