We are completely rewriting our policies. Anyone have an numbering / organizational scheme you use? For example, what are your major policy categories, such as "Employment", "Pay", etc?
Comments
Employment
Employment Status & Records
Employee Benefit Programs
Timekeeping/Payroll
Work Conditions & Hours
Leaves of Absence
Employee Conduct & Disciplinary Action
Each category has a number and within that category the policies are numbered accordingly. For example, Employment is category 1 so the policies within that category are numbered 100, 101, 102, etc. for however many policies there are in that category.
20-Employment
30-Employee Benefits
31-Employee Security
40-Employment Compensation
50-Employee Discipline
60-Employee Grievances
70-Termination of Services
Policies in each category contain the first number a dash and then the policy number. For example, 20-110 is about rehires and is located in the Employment section. We also break it down further when necessary (we have a policy 30-150-4 and 30-150-10 for instance).
This site has some great examples. You might go to the members section and review some of the policies there and they way they are organized.
Hope this helps.
