SECTION 2: TERMS & CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
2.1 AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONS
You will be notified in writing of any changes to your terms and conditions of employment within one
month of the changes taking place. This written notification will include the nature and date of the
change. This written notification does not apply if the change is as a result of a change in legislation.
2.2 PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS AND REVIEW
It is Company policy to monitor your work performance on a continuous basis so to provide you with
every opportunity for maximum personal development within your role. The performance appraisal
plan serves as a communications vehicle between you and your Manager to set performance goals
and is comprised of job elements and performance standards. Job elements state your major job
responsibilities and are based on the major duties in your position description. Performance standards
are based on your job elements and are designed to let you know what is expected of you in terms of
the quality, quantity, timeliness, and priority of your work.
A formal appraisal meeting will be held between each employee and their line manager at different
times throughout the year. Employees will be notified in advance of all meetings and provided with
adequate information relating to the process. The purpose of the appraisals is to enable both parties
to review progress, provide feedback and plan for the future.
If the Company requires you to improve and/or make any adjustments to your performance, these
will be notified to you. Should you fail to make adequate improvements, the Company reserves the
right to take all necessary steps including termination of your employment. The steps involved in this
review process shall be applied fairly and reasonably.
2.2.1 Annual Bonus
A performance appraisal does not result in an automatic bonus payment.
Bonuses, where applicable, will only apply to those employees who have successfully completed their
probation periods and who are not subject to the company's disciplinary procedure.
All bonus payments are at the discretion of the Chief Executive and are not guaranteed.
2.3 JOB FLEXIBILITY
It is an express condition of your employment that you are prepared, whenever necessary, to transfer
to alternative offices or duties within the business. This flexibility is essential as the type and volume
of work is always subject to change and allows us to operate efficiently and to provide unrivalled
service to our valued customers.
2.3.1 Travel Allowance
In the event you are requested to carry out your duties in a company location outside of the principal
location specified on your contract of employment you will be allowed to claim for expenses which
will be agreed in advance with your Manager.
2.4 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
It is a condition of your employment that whilst you are an employee, you do not have any outside
financial interests, or engage in any outside business or financial activity, which conflicts with, or might
conflict with, the interests of the company.
Your acceptance of an offer of employment with the Company will be taken as confirmation that you
do not have any such conflicts of interest. If a conflict of interest should subsequently arise, you should
discuss the issue with your Manager.
