Staff Handbooks

[Guest]

I hope this doesn't open a can of worms!!

 

I was recommended to pull together a Staff Handbook to supplement our Employment Contracts. The trouble is now that I have sat down to look at this, it appears to me that the contents could be many and various! I feel it ought include our policies and procedures as the staff are expected to operate to them. It also needs disciplinary procedures, child protection bits, holiday entitlement, sickness reporting .............

 

Where do I start and where do I stop? Can anyone point me in the right direction please!

Hi we have staff handbooks, in there we have job descriptions, all policies, employment contracts, copies of any wages letters sent to staff and their training.

That should read

 

sensible clothes i.e. leather trousers

 

shouldn't it Peggy?

 

No Jeans? I wear them all the time.

[Guest]

Absolutely, they are sensible ( leather trousers) wipe clean so don't care about getting "messy". ( mind you even my best "going to a meeting outfits often get covered in flour, glue, dough, etc - who cares, I don't)

 

Jeans is a personal thing, I don't own a pair, and as I'm the boss, it's my perogative

 

My staff all tend to wear black trousers.
