Who this policy and procedure binder is for

This binder is for small business owners, office managers, nonprofits and clubs who need clear written policies and step-by-step procedures. It suits growing businesses hiring their first staff, organizations preparing for audits, and anyone tired of answering the same questions again and again. Written procedures keep quality consistent and make training new people much easier.

How to use your policy and procedure binder

Start with the index so every policy and procedure has a number. Write each policy on its own page, covering the purpose and the rule. Turn routine tasks into numbered steps on procedure pages. Ask staff to sign the sign-off page once they have read key policies. Schedule reviews so documents stay current, and record every change with the date and reason on the change log. Keep the binder where staff can reach it easily.

Policy and Procedure Binder questions

What is the difference between a policy and a procedure?

A policy states the rule; a procedure explains the steps to follow it. Other pages in the 11-page policy and procedure binder include "Policy Index", "Policy" and "Step by Step Procedure", so related notes stay together.

Can staff confirm they have read policies?

Yes. Use the sign-off page. Look for the "Staff Sign Off" page in the 11-page policy and procedure binder. Every page is undated, so you can start any day and reprint a page whenever it fills up. Download it free, print only the pages you need and add more copies of any page later.

How often should policies be reviewed?
