4. RULES OF CONDUCT

PURPOSE

The following rules set out the standards of conduct
the company requires of its employees. Any breaches of
these rules may render you liable to disciplinary action,
up to and including dismissal.

TIME KEEPING

You are expected to arrive at work in good time to begin working at the start time
specified on your rota. If, for any reason, you are going to be late for work, you must
inform your line manager personally by telephone.
However, telephoning the company will not
necessarily excuse your lateness.

If you become frequently late for work, your line
manager will hold a meeting with you. This may lead
to informal counselling and further lateness’s may
result in disciplinary action being taken, following the
appropriate progressive stages of the company’s
disciplinary procedures.
DUTIES

During working hours you must devote your whole time and attention to the
services of the company. You must follow all reasonable instructions given to you by
your line manager/s and/or other members of management.

OTHER EMPLOYEES

You must treat all other employees of the company
with respect and consideration at all times. Any
form of bullying or harassment, whether prohibited
under the company’s equal opportunities policy
or not, and whether carried out on company
premises or not, will normally be treated as gross
misconduct.

REFERENCES
Only members of staff with specific authority may write or provide references on
our behalf. We respect a duty of confidentiality to the authors of such references.
We do not normally disclose the contents to the subject of a reference request. Only
standard references will be given.

Some places of work or different countries may not ensure an adequate level of
protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. We take requests to supply
references outside the UK as confirmation that you understand this and you
indemnify such provision.
