HR Policies and Procedures

Failure to abide by legislation and keep your policies and procedures up to date can incur fines and claims by individuals or groups to employment tribunals which can in some cases result in unlimited compensation awards – a significant threat to your organisation.  Clear and understood policies and procedures ensure your employees know what is expected of them and what they can expect from you as their employer, and help avoid costly claims as well as set a framework for effective relations.  

Macintosh HR will advise you on the key areas of required policy and how to best manage these in your organisation. Some of the key areas are indicated below:

• Implementation of The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 in October 2006 which will effectively outlaw age discrimination in employment – a major new development in employment law

• Pregnancy, maternity and adoption rights

• Adherence to the Disputes Resolution Regulations for dealing with disciplinary and grievance situations

• Parental rights

• Attendance management  

• Redundancy
