Conduct re confidentiality, use of mo biles, photography, appraisal process, setting's ethos - brain's hurting now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 If you can spare about £20 you can save a lot of time getting the PLA Employee Handbook. Like the policies it is editable so you can make it your own. That is what I've done this summer and just added in some daily routines and told staff it is to be read alongside all the policies (some of which are abbreviated in the handbook). It saved me so much time and stress - now I just have to find enough paper to print it all on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
