A human resources policy manual, also colloquially known as an “employee handbook,” is a document which sets the tone for the company’s overall employee relationship philosophy. This document informs employees of the policies and procedures of the company who has hired them and some of their rights and responsibilities to this company (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, & Cardy, 2016; Guerin & DelPo, 2005; Lawson, 1998).

This part of the research will focus on the relationships between the concepts stated in the previous framework. As it was already stated that domestic policies are sufficient for foreign policies, it is also to be proven true that foreign policies are adequate for the initiation, formulation, and implementation of domestic policies. This study will, therefore, be grounded on Andrew Moravcsik’s Liberal Theory of International Politics and Robert Putnam’s Logic of Two-Level Games. It has always…

These issues are at various stages of the policy process, and have different institutions responsible for the formulation and implementation of each policy. The first area of policy that had an effect on my day-to-day activities was Transport Regulations.
