Workplace Policies and Procedures

Workplace policies and procedures form an important part of the employment framework of your business. For example, they can be used to establish how the employment relationship will be administered, the standards of conduct and performance expected of those working within the business and how any failure to meet the standards of conduct and performance will be handled by the business.

They can also protect your business from liability for unfair dismissal, general protections, work health and safety, sexual harassment and discrimination.

At MV Law, our experienced team can assist you with tailoring policies and procedures appropriate to your specific business or sector. We also have template policies available for you to purchase.

Whatever your preferred approach, we will ensure that your policy framework is cohesive and appropriate for your business.
