Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Interview Question:

How to deal with employee handbook policies that have contradictory values?

Submitted by: Administrator

If the handbook is inadequate, there are several other ways to deal with contradictions such as

1. Consider past practice.

2. Consider joint recollection of what the parties intended to mean when the handbook was written.

3. Consider letters of understanding that help explain the handbook policies.

4. Consider what other arbitrators, companies, or court cases have done in that, or similar, situations.

5. Consider costs (financial, social, ethical, etc.) of doing things in different ways.

Consult with management and human resource management concerning potential contradictory policies.
