State HR Policies, Rules and Laws
This information provides general human resource guidance to agency administrators about various employment laws, rules, policies, and benefits.
The OMB Human Resource Policy Manual (3MB pdf) is for official use by the Office of Management and Budget and may be used as a resource by other agencies in development of their human resource policies. While the OMB Policy Manual serves as an example, agency policies should specifically pertain to the agency’s needs and may differ from the OMB Policy Manual. HRMS staff is available to assist in development and/or review of agency human resource policies.
