About Personnel Policy Service, Inc.

Since 1972, Personnel Policy Service, Inc. (PPS) has focused on serving the growing needs of employers for practical HR policy and compliance solutions.

Over the years, we have developed comprehensive databases of HR policies, best practices, and legal explanations that serve as the core for our specialized publications. Our flagship service, the Personnel Policy Manual, is referred to by many as the "Bible" of HR policy information. Nationwide, thousands of HR professionals, business owners, consultants, and lawyers rely on it for quick answers, thorough research, and ready-to-use models.

Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, PPS was founded by Jay and Leslie Norman and is now moving into its second generation as the Normans' two daughters are both active in the business. We pride ourselves on being small enough to maintain a "family" tradition of high quality and personalized service, but large enough to provide in-depth analysis and cutting-edge solutions for the toughest HR problems.

Our outside legal editor is the firm of Vedder Price, www.vedderprice.com, which is a national business-oriented law firm with over 260 lawyers in Chicago, New York, and Washington who practice in all areas of business law with a particular emphasis on labor and employment law compliance and litigation.

Each day, our in-house editorial staff researches and analyzes all the new HR trends and important court cases, regulations, and legislation. We also talk regularly to HR consultants and employment law attorneys and monitor new developments to make sure you have the most accurate and up-to-date HR information. To fulfill this mission:

  • We review daily employment law reports, multi-volume treatises on HR and employment law, employment law newsletters, full-text of legislation, court cases, and proposed and final regulations, HR professional journals, on-line subscription publications, and national and local newspapers.

  • We track legislation in the House of Representatives and the Senate concerning employers, such as wage and hour reform, employment discrimination, COBRA reform, OSHA reform, managed care reform, minimum wage increases, family and medical leave expansion, paycheck protection, educational reimbursements, compensatory time off, religious accommodation, sexual orientation discrimination, employer-employee participation committees, leave for school activities, plus many more HR topics.

We examine HR topics and trends using hundreds of organizations’ web sites, including the Department of Labor, the Department of Justice, the Library of Congress, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Society for Human Resource Management, the American Society of Training and Development, the Employment Policy Foundation, New Ways to Work, Catalyst, the American Bar Association, the American Management Association, Hewitt Associates, Abbott Langer and Associates, William M.
