Well-drafted employment policies and procedures help businesses meet their legal obligations, promote consistency in the workplace and reduce the risk of disputes.
We provide practical, commercially focused advice on developing, reviewing and updating workplace policies and procedures, ensuring they are legally compliant, fit for purpose and tailored to the needs of your organisation.
All employers, regardless of size, are advised to have formal employment policies & procedures in a Staff Handbook.
While the Handbook will usually have no contractual effect, the employment policies will provide staff with information regarding how the employer expects to treat issues such as sickness absence, grievances, maternity, redundancy and flexible working to name a few.
Employment policies will promote fair procedures and consistency of treatment of staff, which will help reduce the number of future claims faced by the employer.
