Hiring, managing and disciplining staff

Now, employers have no excuse for getting their paperwork wrong when dealing with employees.

At the end of April, Acas notified employers that there are several documents that they are making available free of charge. They are designed to help you to hire staff. Others are available to help with Managing staff and Disciplining staff.

– Job descriptions

• Job description [31kb] – it’s a simple outline of the main headings, including the role’s main duties and who the employee will report to.
• Job descriptions – two examples [30kb] – two examples. One is for a clerical assistant; the other for a warehouse worker.

– Person specification

• Person specification [37kb] – a breakdown of the attributes the employer is looking for and whether they should be essential or desirable.

– Job application forms

• Job application form 1 [43kb] – a form covering the basics.
• Job application form 2 [39kb] – a longer form asking for more details of skills and experience.

– Equal opportunities monitoring

• Sex, ethnic origin and religion monitoring form [56kb] – the confidential form to go out with the job application form, but to be returned separately.

– Written Statement of Employment

• Written Statement of Employment [55kb] – framework for the terms and conditions of employment an employer must give an employee within two months of them starting the job.

– Settling in the new employee

• Induction checklist [106kb] – the details you need to run through with a new starter, including who’s who in the company, understanding the job and company rules.

Acas say that the samples for letters, forms and checklists are here to help you, but users must take full responsibility for the content they send out.
