POLICY:

In this section, describe, in detail, why this policy is needed for your organization. Policies consist of high-level statements of intent about the things a business either wants to do or plans to avoid doing. Policies focus on the intentions of an organization, not on the functions its staff members carry out.

If you need to state the scope of this P&P to all applicable employees, please create a section heading labeled "SCOPE."

If you need to define some terms that you will utilize in your P&P, please create a section heading labeled "DEFINITION."

If you need to clarify the policy and/or the purpose of your P&P, please create a section heading labeled "INTERPRETATION."

PROCEDURE:

In this section, you will provide specific procedures in the manner [your topic] should be handled, as well as the consequences of violating the policy. The "Procedure" section includes detailed descriptions of the tasks that are part of an organization's business. These may be in the form of step-by-step instructions, flow charts or another descriptive form. They should be detailed enough for new staff to follow and standardized enough to prevent waste and errors.

**If you need to clarify the policy and/or the purpose of your P&P, please create a section heading labeled "DISCIPLINARY ACTION." Please use step-by-step instructions, flow charts, or another descriptive form.
