Policy
Peer review policy & procedure
This peer review policy and procedure aims to support all employees to achieve and maintain their maximum (reasonable) contribution to their role at the project. It’s an opportunity for all employee members to have time to reflect on their role, to think about how their work is going and what the issues are. It’s a chance to have someone else engage with their job, listen to them and support them with anything they need help with, and to grow and develop within the role.
Policy
Socially just waging system
A waging system that aims to be socially just, in recognising different needs and backgrounds, and fair to all of its workers. It aims to provide for maximum financial security, and also reflect the organisation’s ethics and principles. It’s trying to address the fact that pay tends to ignore people’s pre-existing circumstances and treats people’s time as worthy of different amounts.
Policy
Staff absence planning
A policy for a mid-sized organisation to identify individual and collective responsibilities for staff taking time off, in a way that both enables staff to take time away, and for it to avoid negatively impacting on staff who are still working. Includes link to a template for work handover planning.
Policy
Unlimited paid holiday policy
This holiday policy outlines our approach to annual leave. We offer all workers unlimited paid holiday (UPH), regardless of length of service. In doing so, this policy aims to offer a generous, flexible approach to leave that helps everyone to feel empowered and supported.
