Underwood Carpenter Employee Handbook - Latest 02 11 16

Introduction to the Employee Handbook
Welcome to our Team and we hope you will find your career with us both enjoyable and
rewarding.
We recognise our people are our future. We are continually learning, evolving and developing new
ways of working that benefit our team and the Company as a whole.
Our objective is to make our Company a great place to work and one in which each of our team
feel recognised and are encouraged to grow and succeed.
The Purpose of this Handbook
We have prepared this Handbook with the objective of providing our team with useful information
on all aspects of our policies, standards and procedures. We hope you will find this information
useful as a reference document.
A copy of this handbook is available on the HR Policies and Company Procedures drive :
1. Employee Handbook
It is important that you ensure you make yourself familiar with its contents, but always feel able to
discuss any business or personal matters with your Line Manager or one of our Support Mentors.
Our Support Mentors
Tim Salter, Allan McPherson, David Underwood and Rachael Lewis
Aims
It is our intention to clearly set out policies and procedures to ensure that all employees are treated
consistently and fairly and that new members to our team have a point of reference on
employment matters.
Non-Contractual and Contractual Terms
The contents of this handbook fall into two categories, non-contractual and contractual terms of
employment.
To help you define which items are non-contractual and which ones are contractual, this
handbook has been split into two sections:
Section 1:
Section 2:
Non-Contractual
Contractual
Amendments to the Employee Handbook
It is important that we keep reviewing our people policies and procedures to ensure we comply
with all legal requirements and adhere to best practice. The Company therefore reserves the right
to make changes to policies and procedures contained within the handbook or otherwise to add
in additional clauses/policies.
