Abstract All companies must develop, identify, and utilize appropriate human resource policies. These policies are a vital part of running any business. However, it is imperative that each company understands that their human resource functions must be created to meet the unique needs of that company and therefore cannot be lumped together into one tactic. Each company is different based on their size and the nature of their business which requires applicable human resource tactics based on the needs of each individual company. This paper is written to discuss the important aspects of a human resource policy for a small business of 15 to 20 employees. The aspects discussed will include employee relations and separation, employment processes and employee compensation and benefits. In order to properly explain the need for policies in these areas of human resource management, each topic will be describe in depth and rationale will be discussed as well in regards to laws and regulations associated with this area of business. A small business can create a structure that is suitable for long-term success and sustainability through developing effective human resource policies.
