Adoption Policy and Procedure
Qualifying employees who are adopting a child have the right to leave, pay and employment protection. This policy clearly defines employee rights, and both employer and employee obligations.
In common with all policies, this policy should be signed by the most senior person responsible for its operation (normally the head of the Company) and all employees should be informed of its contents, with a central copy held on a 'Personnel Policy File' with all of your other policies and procedures. Once you have established this as Company Policy, please ensure you and your employees comply with it.
Other documents you may wish to consider implementing in addition to this policy include:
Maternity Policy and Procedure
Paternity Policy and Procedure
