Disciplinary Policy

This policy document outlines the best practice approach to handling conduct or disciplinary matters for employees in your business. The process detailed in this policy and procedure meets the statutory standards required of the ACAS guidelines without being too onerous. 

It includes a code of conduct for employees, examples of misconduct and gross misconduct, details of the process that will be followed in the event of disciplinary action being required including investigation and hearing stages, a list of possible sanctions at the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings, and the employees right to appeal.

It also includes a clause allowing any disciplinary proceedings to be outsourced to an independent third party such as an HR Consultant, should you wish to have a professional handle any matters for you so you can focus on running the business.

Grievance Policy

This policy document outlines the best practice approach to handling grievances or complaints from your employees. It follows as a minimum the standards required under the ACAS guidelines and will ensure that grievances are handled fairly and transparently, minimising the risk of you making a procedural mistake which could breach your employees' rights and lead to a claim against you.

It also includes a clause allowing any grievance proceedings to be outsourced to an independent third party such as an HR Consultant, should you wish to have a professional handle any such matters for you so you can focus on running the business.

Health and Safety Policy

This policy document outlines good general industry practice for Health and Safety for businesses where your employees are either office based or home based / remote workers. It is aimed primarily at professional services and online businesses, and would not be suitable for more hazardous working environments such as factory floors or construction sites, where you need to meet very specific regulated health and safety standards. If your business operates in this kind of environment you should engage an industry specific H&S advisor to support you in creating your H&S policy.

The policy includes sections on:

• Responsibilities of employer and employee in ensuring a safe working environment
• Safe use of equipment
• Accidents and First Aid
• Emergency Fire Procedures
• Pandemics and infectious diseases
• Risk Assessments
• No Smoking Policy
• Lone Worker Policy

Privacy Notice and Policy for Employee Data

The content of this policy document has been designed to meet an employers obligations under GDPR legislation by outlining the measures that the employer will take when collecting, processing, storing and sharing the personal data of employees. It is important not only to have this policy documented, but also to follow the measures outlined in the policy to ensure the security of personal data and to minimise the risk of data breaches.

The policy document combines both a Privacy Policy and a Privacy Notice, both requirements under GDPR, which between them detail the reasons you will collect data from your employees, what data you will collect, how you will use that data, the legal basis for processing said data, and what rights your employees have as data subjects under GDPR.

The policy is detailed and comprehensive, as required under GDPR legislation, but it requires minimal amendment - just insert your company name and logo, one or two details, and it's ready to issue to your employees.

Equal Opportunities Policy

This policy statement outlines a best practice approach to ensuring equal opportunity for people in your business regardless of race, religion or belief, colour, sex, age, national origin, disability or sexual orientation. It outlines how your business will approach recruitment and selection processes, promotion and development decisions, making reasonable adjustments to accommodate those with disabilities, and how your business will handle allegations of harassment or discrimination. 

Having an Equal Opportunities policy is essential to demonstrate that your business has considered the possible scenarios where discrimination or unfair practice could occur, and that you have put in place practical measures to avoid these scenarios and deal with any allegations of such behaviour.

The policy requires minimal amendment - just insert your company name and logo and it's ready to issue to your employees.

Compliance

These policies are up to date with current employment law and best practice if they are followed and adhered to in your business. They have been designed carefully not to create unnecessary admin or effort on your behalf, but you should read each policy through carefully before issuing to your employees to check that you understand the practical requirements of implementation.
