Hi
It is better you got the opportunity to draft the policies. There are many many policies posted in this blog. You can just go for search & get the idea

Dear Sumana,
Designing policies is little serious job. This is because policies have organisation-wide implications. Further these need to be customised to your company's requirement. Against this backdrop, how come that "senior" manager has delegated this work to a fresher like you is not understood.
The first test of managership lies in understanding what to delegate, to whom to delegate and how much to delegate.
If you search this forum, you will get ample policies, but then to decide what is useful and what is not useful, I recommend you leaving it to your "senior" manager.
Thanks.
