Policy, Procedures & HR Documentation
Policy and procedures
HR policies and procedures are important to help set expectations for employees and give clarity. An organisations policies and procedures are often referenced in a court of law when an employee is unfairly dismissed or if an employee seeks legal help or arbitration. We can document a complete system or review and enhance your current system. We have a number of templates that are legally compliant that can be adapted to fit your industry and workforce
The contents of your HR system will depend on the needs of the business but should contain as a minimum:
- Employment Contracts
- Employee induction policy, procedure and forms
- Probation and Performance Appraisal Policy, procedures and forms
- Leave policy (annual, lsl, personal, sick etc.) procedures and forms
- EEO & Diversity policy
- Grievance policy, procedure and forms
- Code of Conduct policy
- Termination policy, procedure and forms
- Harassment and Bullying Policy
- Other required policy dependant on your business
Job Descriptions
We can review or redraft your job descriptions so that the company is in compliant with Australian workplace standards. The correct job description will allow the company to properly set the objectives for that role and assure that they are congruent with the objectives and goals of the company. The job description will allow the employee to understand their role and allow both the company and manager to assess their performance in that role.
Employee Handbook
An Employee Handbook that summaries all the essentials your employee needs to know to be successful in their role is key. The Handbook establishes the guidelines directing day-to-day contacts which will serve to minimise possible misunderstandings and potential conflicts. The Employee Handbook will clearly and simply present the organisation’s philosophy, objectives, policies, employee benefits and other aspects of the employment relationship. In addition, it will provide a convenient reference to help guide employees and management in the onboarding process.
