This guide provides a checklist of typical topics which should be covered in an NGO HR/employment manual as based on English law.
Disclaimer: 
This publication provides general information and comments on the subject matter covered and is not a comprehensive treatment of the subject. It is not intended to provide legal advice, and readers should not rely on it but seek specific legal advice before taking any legal action with respect to the matters discussed.

Certain particulars of employment are often not covered in formal contracts of employment, and it is good practice for employers to document these details in a staff handbook. This guide by A4ID in collaboration with Louise Mason of Allen & Overy includes a thorough checklist of topics which should be covered in such a handbook as based on English law.

Topics discussed include equal opportunities policy, anti-harassment policy, holiday leave policy, sickness absence policy, maternity and family-friendly policies, flexible working policy, expenses policy, disciplinary and grievances policies, health and safety policy, and data protection policy.
