Your company handbook includes the statement 'Employees are prohibited from alcohol use at work.' This is an example of which of the following?

Policy
Procedure
Rule
All of the above

The correct answer is: Rule

This statement in the company handbook is an example of a rule. A policy is a set of guidelines or principles that dictate how a company operates, whereas a procedure is a step-by-step process to achieve a specific goal. The statement does not provide any specific steps, but rather sets a general rule for employees. Additionally, the statement only applies to alcohol use, while a company's policies and procedures may cover a wide range of topics. Therefore, the statement is not a policy or a procedure, but a rule. Option D, "All of the above," is incorrect because not all of the options listed apply to the statement in question.
