Protocols for complete labor documentation

One of the inherent parts of any process is documentation. We can see it in our personal lives as well as in professional relationships, as it is what helps us validate the existence of a procedure. Or, as the saying goes: "paper talks."

Specifically within the business realm, complete employment documentation is essential for legal compliance, efficient human resources management, and the protection of both employees and the company. However, at sora we know that it can sometimes be difficult to comply with all of these documents, which is why we show you the protocols to ensure proper and complete employment documentation below:

1. Employment contracts

• Drafting and review: ensure that all employees sign employment contracts that clearly detail the scope of their responsibilities, salary, benefits, and working conditions.

• Updating: keep contracts updated as working conditions or legislation change.

2. Company policies

• Employee handbook: create and distribute an employee handbook that includes company policies, procedures, and ethical expectations.

• Consent and acknowledgement: obtain the employee’s signature as confirmation of having read and understood the handbook.

3. Attendance and hours records

• Tracking systems: implement electronic or manual systems to keep an accurate record of hours worked, absences, vacations, and sick leave.

4. Performance evaluation documentation

• Regular evaluations: conduct performance evaluations periodically and keep documentation that supports the results and any action taken in this regard.

5. Training and development records

• Training history: maintain a record of all professional training and development activities offered to the employee and their participation in them.

6. Workplace incident documentation

• Incident reports: establish a protocol for the documentation and reporting of any workplace incident, including accidents, harassment or discrimination complaints, and disciplinary measures.

7. Disciplinary procedures

• Records of disciplinary actions: document all disciplinary actions taken, including the reasons for such actions and any relevant communication with the employee.

8. Legal and regulatory compliance

• Employment eligibility verification: perform and document employment eligibility verification for all employees in accordance with local legislation.

• Documentation related to benefits: maintain detailed records of employee participation in benefit programs.
