An HR policy is a written document that establishes the employer's position, expectations, and procedures on a specific employment matter. Common HR policies include employment-at-will, equal employment opportunity, anti-harassment and anti-discrimination, leave, benefits eligibility, code of conduct, dress code, technology use, social media, and termination procedures. A complete policy library is published in an employee handbook, accessible to all employees, and updated regularly to reflect changes in law and company practice.
