I am working on a policy manual for my employer. Use Google to find other
online policy manuals. Find a format you like. Base yours on that one. The
sad truth is that you'll spend more time finding a nice layout than most
employees will spend reading the manual. Search for manuals for companies in
the same general field as your employer. I work for a network of 6 doctors
offices. I checked out hospitals and doctors/dentist practices. Picked up a
few things on some HR websites but most want to charge you. Too much free
stuff to pay for anything.

As for the expectations of the employees - they want rules that apply to
others but not themselves.
