This policy applies to recruitment and placement, promotion, training, transfer, retention, rate of pay and all other details and conditions of employment.

The payments are also typically dependent on a number of other conditions being met.

DESS Technologies assumes that those associated with the institution will conduct themselves ethically and in accordance with what are generally accepted as "standard business practices." The increasingly complex relationships that have evolved between the DESS Technologies and the numerous individuals, companies, and other groups, with which it deals, require that persons representing the DESS Technologies exercise a high degree of personal responsibility, integrity, and sound judgment.
Each employee should be familiar with the policies and procedural guidelines that cover the business activities that are his/her responsibility. This requirement will vary significantly depending on the employee's position.
It is hoped that by clearly setting forth the standards of behavior that the DESS Technologies expects from its employees, any misunderstandings will be minimized, and any questionable situation can be brought to the attention of the responsible administrator and resolved.
Specific areas of focus include:
Any employee who has a question about these issues, or the policies governing them, that cannot be answered by his/her supervisor is encouraged to direct the question to Human Resources Department.
Employee Records and Information
The Department of Human Resources maintains a record of each employee's employment at DESS Technologies, including such information as education, experience, work performance, and progress. These records are carefully reviewed when an employee is being considered for promotion, salary increase, or transfer.
In accordance with DESS Technologies policy and applicable law, all employee records (including but not necessarily limited to application forms and other records pertaining to hire, promotion, demotion, transfer, work schedule, layoff, termination, rates of pay or other terms of compensation, performance appraisal, and selection for training) kept by the University will be preserved for at least three years from the date of the personnel action. This does not apply to records for positions known to be of a temporary or seasonal nature.
A personnel file may contain personal data as well as employment information. The Department of Human Resources regards this information as confidential and will release it only with the written permission of the employee.
When the Department of Human Resources receives a request for information from agencies, stores, banks, or other institutions, only non-confidential information such as date of employment and name of department will be released. Confidential information such as pay rate, past earnings, home address or phone number will not be released unless authorized in writing by the employee. Informing the Human Resources Department can also make changes in personal data.
An employee may schedule an appointment to review the contents of his/her file by calling the Records Coordinator in the Department of Human Resources.
Probationary Period
The first six months of employment for professional/administrative employees and the first four months for office/clerical and service employees are considered a probationary period. During this time, work performance is regularly monitored and assessed in order to determine whether or not continued employment status should be granted. A new employee who does not perform satisfactorily, according to DESS Technologies standards, and/or does not conform to the terms and conditions of employment at DESS Technologies, may be terminated after he/she has been given notice in writing
Promotions and Transfers
In filling positions at DESS Technologies, preference is given whenever possible to qualified persons currently employed at the DESS Technologies, with factors such as ability, experience, potential for growth, and the affirmative action goals taken into consideration. Employees are encouraged to express interest in positions for which they believe they are qualified.
A promotion is a change from one position to another (either in the same office or in another office). A promotion normally, but not necessarily, is accompanied by an increase in salary.
A transfer is defined as a change from one position to another within the same classification level and salary range and normally does not include an increase in salary.
To be eligible for a promotion or transfer, a person must have completed at least the probationary period, and a year of prior service at the DESS Technologies is strongly preferred.
Employment of Relatives

More advance notice may be appropriate for senior level positions. Office/clerical and service staff members are expected to provide a minimum of two weeks' notice.

Any termination must be approved by the Vice President for Human Resources, or his/her designee, and must be in accordance with established policies and procedures.
Rehire
Employees who leave DESS Technologies in good standing and later wish to return are eligible for consideration for rehire provided an appropriate position is available. A previous employee who is rehired will be given credit for prior service for purposes of vacation eligibility and other pertinent benefits if no more than two years have elapsed between terminations and rehire.
Absences and Lateness
Regular attendance is essential to the Company’s efficient operation and is a necessary condition of employment. When employees are absent, schedules and customer commitments fall behind, and other employees must assume added workloads.
Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled and on time. If it is impossible to report for work as scheduled, employees must call their manager before their starting time. If your manager is unavailable, a message should be left. If the absence is to continue beyond the first day, the employee must notify their manager on a daily basis unless otherwise arranged. Calling in is the responsibility of every employee who is absent.
Each supervisor is responsible for keeping accurate records of an employee's absences and of sick leave earned and taken. DESS Technologies reserves the right to request a medical examination or doctor's certificate during or following an illness.
Business Expense Reimbursement
The company will reimburse employees for expense, which is directly business, related to include: travel expenses, office supplies, and mileage incurred while traveling on business. Employees must submit receipts for all expenses. Employees should consult with their manager prior to business trips to confirm eligible expenses.
Telephone and Computer Use Policy
The Company understands that when employees work during the week it is occasionally necessary to conduct personal business during office hours. However, employees should limit their personal use of the telephone and computer during office hours. Talk to your manager if you have any questions as to how much is too much time. Because the Company at its expense for business use provides telephone and e-mail systems, all messages sent by or received on those systems are company documents. The Company reserves the right to access and to disclose the messages that you send or receive on the voice mail or e-mail systems. Employees should also be aware that “deleted” messages from the computer screen may not actually be deleted fro the e-mail system. Employees who abuse this policy are subject to disciplinary procedures up to and including discharge.
Smoking Policy
The Company maintains a non-smoking policy within the office. Employees should smoke only in those areas of the building which are smoking designated.
Dress Code Policy
The Company maintains a business casual working environment. All employees should use discretion in wearing attire that is appropriate for the office and customer interaction
Safety Policy
The Company is sincerely interested in the safety and well being of our employees. The Company will make every effort to keep the office equipment in excellent condition and make sure that all safety devices are working properly. If, in spite of our efforts to ensure safe working conditions, an employee has an accident or becomes ill on the job, it should be reported to the manager immediately. They will see that prompt medical attention is provided.
Workplace Security Policy
The Company is committed to maintain a safe and secure workplace. In order to maintain a secure work environment, the company strictly prohibits employees and visitors from bringing any firearm on Company property. In addition, all visitors are asked to check in with the receptionist. Failure to comply with this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Drug and Alcohol Policy
The Company realizes that the misuse of drugs and alcohol impairs employee health and productivity. Drug and alcohol problems result in unsafe working conditions for all employees and customers. The Company is committed to maintaining a productive, safe, and healthy work environment, free of unauthorized drug and alcohol use.
Any employee involved in the unlawful use, sale, manufacturing, dispensing or possession of controlled substances, illicit drugs and alcohol on Company premises or work sites, or working under the influence of such substances, will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal and referral for prosecution.

Hi Sashmita,
I agree with what you have to say. The size of the organization , the culture, the diversity also has a role to play.
Apart form that
who's who in the company>>This is important for an employee to know. It seems feasible when the strength is small. Otherwise a basic Organization chart should suffice.
Uniform policy>>May or may not be added, unless it is creating a problem for you. Most people dress appropriately.
Deductions>>what kind of deductiona re you referring to?
growth policy for Mgmt and Non Management employees>>Its is required where in you have clerical staff as well. The ambitions, the motivations of the management and non management associates differ vastly. Therefore the difference.

I agree with what you have to say. The size of the organization , the culture, the diversity also has a role to play.
Apart form that
who's who in the company>>This is important for an employee to know. It seems feasible when the strength is small. Otherwise a basic Organization chart should suffice.
Uniform policy>>May or may not be added, unless it is creating a problem for you. Most people dress appropriately.
Deductions>>what kind of deductiona re you referring to?
growth policy for Mgmt and Non Management employees>>Its is required where in you have clerical staff as well. The ambitions, the motivations of the management and non management associates differ vastly. Therefore the difference.
