What is a Workplace Policy?

Answer:
Workplace policies are formal policies put in

place by a company's management. Workplace policies are generally found in employee handbooks or other written materials so that employees are easily aware of them. In some companies, employees are required to sign something saying that they have read and understand a workplace policy.

A workplace policy may be a policy about anything from pay rates to dress codes to what behaviors are grounds for termination. There may also be a workplace policy about specific procedures relating to clients or basic administrative tasks.

A good employee handbook will clearly spell out consequences for not following workplace policy, so that there is no misunderstanding between employees and management.
