How to Make Sure All Employees Have the Policy and Understand It

All employees should have been given a copy of the policy when they were hired. It is up to you to make sure that they have copies and make copies available, if needed. Click on the "References" link at the top of the page to get a copy of the policy. Your local HR office has copies, also.

To make sure that all of your employees understand the policy, it is your responsibility to assure that they have all had training. If they have taken a classroom session in the past, this may be sufficient. If not, you may require them to complete this online course. In either case, it is a good idea to hold some follow-up discussions to reinforce what they have learned. You may choose to: discuss the policy and procedures periodically in regularly scheduled staff meetings, hold a special meeting to discuss the issues, or discuss the issues individually with each employee.
