Do I need written Policies & Procedures?

According to employment law in the UK, employers are required to give each employee a statement of their employment particulars within one month of starting employment.  These include name and address of employer, hours of work, salary, holiday and leave allowance.

Written policies and procedures are helpful to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee.  Some will be contractual and therefore form part of the employment contract which is protected in law.  Others will be non-contractual and can be varied or removed by the employer, although usually only after appropriate consultation and communication.

Many businesses and consultants can help draft and revise your policies and procedures, including 3D HR.
