These sample policies are EXAMPLES and are not “model” policies. The policies have not been reviewed by attorneys and do not necessarily reflect the employment laws in any or all of the fifty states. SHRM urges you to use these as samples, not as models; adapt them to your own organization’s policies, practices and culture, and above all, have any new policy reviewed by legal counsel.
