Employment contracts are written statements of particulars covering the terms and conditions of employment which must meet the minimum legal standards.

 

Policies are a written source of guidance on how a wide range of issues should be handled within an organisation including a description of the principal rights and responsibilities of managers and employees.

 

Staff handbooks give details about your organisation, including HR policies, health and safety and general information about the workplace.

 

Policies should be implemented through staff training.

 

Get these right and have happier employees.
