Establishing Company Policies
It can sometimes happen that an employee may suddenly find they have unexpectedly broken a rule or procedure they were unaware was company policy because they were never officially informed. Policies and procedures at work provide a road-map for day to day operations.
This can be the case where a company – often a small business – has neglected to set out important procedures and requirements in writing, such as in a formal company handbook.
The rules, practices and guidelines that you should be informed of in writing as key company policies in place at your specific employment, include:
- Health and Safety
- Conduct and Behaviour
- Leave of Absence
- Disciplinary Procedures
- Equal Opportunity
A written company policy can be critical in ensuring that when Michael Legal Firm acts on your behalf with your
employer over the breaking of an “unwritten rule”, an outcome can be quickly and fairly settled.
