The HR manual is a document that explains the policies of a company, and the relation of employees with the managers, the kind of relationship that should be maintained as described in the manual.
The HR manual is like an employee policy handbook and aims at describing workplace practices and compliances. The book has a brief about the legal proceedings of the company for employees and is an internal document of the organization. Like every document, an HR manual requires a careful tally of legal procedures, rules, and compliances of a company to be formed in a proper manual.
