HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY PROJECT: RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
In a research paper, provide researched rationale for the nature and substance of 4 selected, distinct policies. The selected policies must correctly address employment legislation pertinent to the stated size of the company (15-25 employees). In elaborating on the rationale, you may want to consider the following questions: Why should these elements be in a policy manual? What laws or principles mandate an organization follow these guidelines? What cases have established precedent for this issue to be addressed clearly in an organization's employee policy manual?
Support your rationale with an annotated bibliography:
The annotated bibliography for your 4 selected human resource topics must consist of at least 10 reputable, professional, scholarly journals and/or informational venues and the Bible. Followed by a brief paragraph (at least 150 words) that is descriptive and evaluative (i.e., not blogs, Wikipedia, newspapers, etc.), be in current APA format, and contain persistent links so others may have instant access. Include a proper title page.
Remember, government websites and previous/current court cases are useful but will NOT be included in the scholarly reference requirement.
The paper must be at least 1,800 words, not counting the cover page, the abstract, and the references page. It must be written in current APA format.
The 4 selected HR policy topics are the following:
• Dress Code
• Misconduct
• Sexual Harassment
• Benefits: Vacation, sick time, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Important: Do not cut and paste from your sources. Regardless of the reason, in the event of plagiarism, you will receive 0 points for the entire assignment.
