The HR Essentials Pack – Best Practice is ideal for small to medium businesses wishing to not only ensure compliance with legal requirements, but achieve best practice in the management of their employees. This pack contains 39 documents including HR Policies (14), Performance Management documents including warning and termination letters (19), and Employment Contract templates including management, staff and casual employees, confidentiality agreements as well as an Independent Contractor Agreement (6).
HR policies provide guidance on the approach a business intends to adopt in managing its people. A good HR policy provides generalized guidance on the approach adopted by the organization, and therefore its employees, concerning various aspects of employment. Well-documented policies and procedures help staff to understand how an organisation ‘works’.
Performance management documents included in the Essentials Pack are critical to ensure due process is followed and therefore minimising risk to your business. These include documents for keeping records of performance meetings, warning and termination letters, as well as performance improvement plans.
The employment contracts, otherwise known as employment agreements, are compliant with the Fair Work Act 2009 – Australia. If you require assistance in determining which employment contract template is relevant to your circumstances, please contact us.
