HUMAN RESOURCES Templates
FIC Consulting recognises that budgets are strained and yet it does not diminish your need for HR Support. In response to that and in an effort to maximize the delivery of important information related to several HR competencies, we have developed templates that are topic-related and now available to use for a low cost.
Designed to meet the needs of small business.
Each template is marketed to provide a summary of what is contained within it as well as provides detailed instructions on how to handle specific things. Whether it is understanding recruiting or just understanding some basic HR concepts, you can purchase a template to meet your needs. Click on a row to learn more about that particular training and how it may benefit your business.
Disciplinary Code Policy Template - R450
Disciplinary action must be substantively fair, as well as procedurally fair. Dismissal without a valid fair reason and not in compliance with a fair procedure was explicitly defined as an unfair labour practice in the Labour Relations Act of 1995.
Procedural fairness is generally taken care of by the disciplinary procedure while the substantive aspects, i.e. the specific behaviour of employees, are the province of the disciplinary code.
The best approach is to communicate this policy during new-hire orientation. You should ask for a signed acknowledgment from employees to indicate that they have received and understood the policy.

Mobile Device usage Policy Template - R380
The rapid growth of technology has increased the need for workplace cell phone policies. Millions of employees in South Africa take personal devices to work daily but using cell phones on the job presents safety hazards and potential liability issues.
Employers should develop formal, written guidelines on cell phone use while driving for any employees that operate a vehicle for business purposes. Banning workers from calling and texting on the road prevents accidents and shows a commitment to safety.

IT Acceptable Use Policy - R450
Protect your business
If your business deals with potentially sensitive and private customer data, you want to create a policy that includes how you handle this data so both your customers and your employees know and understand how the data is to be handled and protected. This will increase both your customer and employee confidence and help them deal with any potential problems that may occur in the future.
Protect your employees
Studies have shown that almost all employees will lose focus during the day and may even wander onto their favourite social media site or send the occasional personal email or two. Because of this, it is important to have a policy that spells out how you the business owner expect the Internet and email to be handled and how much privacy an employee can expect when using these services at the office.
