HR Policy FAQs
Common questions about HR policies and workplace compliance
Every company needs core policies including: employee handbook, code of conduct, anti-harassment and discrimination policy, attendance and leave policies, remote work policy, confidentiality agreement, and disciplinary procedures. These foundational policies establish clear expectations and protect both employees and the organization.
Review HR policies annually at minimum, and immediately after significant changes in employment law, company growth milestones, or workforce composition changes. Document all revisions with version dates, communicate updates to employees, and obtain acknowledgment signatures. Our policy templates include review schedules and version tracking.
Use multiple touchpoints: distribute policies during onboarding with signed acknowledgment, conduct annual policy training sessions, make policies easily accessible in a digital handbook, send updates via email with read receipts, and incorporate policy quizzes. Our acknowledgment forms and training materials help drive compliance.
Policies are high-level principles that guide decision-making (what and why). Procedures are step-by-step instructions for implementing policies (how). Guidelines are recommended practices that allow flexibility. A complete HR framework includes all three levels, and our templates provide each type for comprehensive workplace governance.
