AnonyMouse_35605 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have been thinking that our policies tend to be about the welfare of the children and the parents rather than the staff. I would like to add an Ethical Business policy that sets outs the ethos behind how we give staff hours, how we pay them ( aim is to be as much as can afford above minimum wage) and how we support them when there are problems. Does anyone have something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_12805 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We have a staffing & employment policy- to be honest I haven't looked at it in a while so cant remember what is in it Sorry not much help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 We didn't where I used to work - I think it'd be a good thing to have. Not essential, just shows you care about staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_11962 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Good idea. I am reviewing my staffing and employment policy and thinking of adding something about aspiring to pay a 'living wage' - I don't feel I can totally commit to this due to financial constraints but I do try my best (my one unqualified gets £7 ph and others range from that to £8.20 ph). Also thinking of adding about flexibility for own kids inset days and a few days a year paid to look after sick dependants - already do both these so it's a good idea to mention it I guess!

AnonyMouse_21510 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 We have an Employee Handbook as a support document written by the Pre-School Learning Alliance but as a template so you can change it to suit. Our staff sign to say that they have received a copy and when we make any amendments. You could put your other information about salaries etc....in a business plan.
