Staff Handbook Datasheet

Overview

You can choose from 2 versions of the Cleardocs Handbook: “Compliant” and “Best Practice”.

The subscription for each handbook — with free updates for 12 months — is:

• £49.50 (plus VAT = £58.16) for the Compliant Handbook, and
• £125 (plus VAT = £146.86) for the Best Practice Handbook.

• The Compliant Handbook includes all clauses needed to comply with current legislation. It details the Grievance, Disciplinary, and Appeals procedures. Our intelligent software enables you to tailor the Handbook so that the Handbook: says where the definitive, up to date version will be kept and who is responsible for it; and includes details of any examples of misconduct specific to your business. To order, you complete 5 straightforward questions in the Cleardocs system, then you receive a 25 page document and notes on how to use the Handbook.

• The Best Practice Handbook has everything in the Compliant version plus: family friendly policies (maternity and paternity), use of company assets (computers, email and phones), data protection, sickness and absence, flexible working, security, whistle-blowing and much more. To order, you complete 39 straightforward questions in the Cleardocs system, then you receive a 128 page document.
  

The Staff Handbook can be reproduced within the employer’s organisation as many times as needed.

Free updates for 12 months

Your Handbook subscription entitles you to all updates to the Handbook for 12 months from the date you ordered.  When we update the Handbook to reflect a change in the law, we will send you draft emails to review and tailor for the employer to send to its staff to tell them about the changes. Doing so helps the employer remain compliant.
