PERSONNEL POLICIES SUMMARY
> FOR: @NAME
> [Enter subtitle, company name, etc. here]
> ____________________________________________________
1. WORKING HOURS. Describe briefly the policy you will set
for working hours, including starting time, how much time
will be allowed for lunch, knocking-off time, and which
days of the week employees will be expected to work. If,
like many companies these days, you want to adopt some
kind of "flex-time" system, spell out how that will work.

2. OVERTIME. Outline your company policy on overtime work.
Refer to the "Legal Matters" submenu of this program or
to Sections 11.5 and 5.7 of the "STARTING & OPERATING A
BUSINESS" book for your state for an outline of the state
and federal labor law requirements for paying overtime
premiums. Points to consider here will include:
(a) Whether you will pay "exempt" (administrative or
professional) employees overtime if they work
extra hours, and
(b) Whether you will require employees to first ob-
tain permission before working overtime.

3. COMPENSATION. Make a list of the job positions in your
company other than your own, and the compensation level
for each. Also write out a specific job description for
each position where indicated below in this worksheet (by
inserting as many additional new lines as you need), out-
lining duties and responsibilities for each job position.

4. VACATION POLICY. Describe how much paid vacation your
employees will have, how this may increase after a cer-
tain number of years of service and whether vacation time
and sick leave time off will be combined into a single
category for employees as some companies now do to reward
employees who do not abuse sick leave, and to discourage
others from using sick leave as additional vacation by
playing "hooky." Will you pay employees who terminate for
unused vacation? (The laws of many states require you to
do so.)

leave and unpaid sick leave, or whichever you choose to
provide, if not both. (Note: Sick pay is no longer exempt
from FICA tax, in general.)
