Description
The focus of this workshop is on the development and revision of a personnel policy manual. We will focus on the legal impact of topics such as recruitment and hiring, at-will employment status, performance appraisal, hours of work, hiring, termination and disciplinary policies. Participants will attain an understanding of the role of the board of directors, parent policy council and staff in the development and implementation of the policy manual. Each participant is given a sample table of contents for a personnel policy manual. We cover each topic on the table and present a background of legally correct language, general standards of personnel practice and an explanation of why it is important to include the topic in the manual. For example, one subject will be Hours of Work. The impact of federal labor laws, definition of exempt and non-exempt employees, determination of overtime payment, and flexible time work schedules will be addressed. Emphasis is placed on the particular needs of child care agencies and the need for personnel policies regardless of the size of the agency. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and interject with "real life" situations throughout the workshop.
