Checklists can be a very useful tool aiding
employers to achieve business objectives. Checklists make planning, monitoring
and guiding operations an easier and a far more efficient process.
Checklists are also useful in ensuring that
workplace processes are applied in a way that is consistent across the
business. They also act as a memory aid and reminder to the user of the range
of employment related factors that need to be considered by employers.
Checklists are provided to assist with various
employment-related processes, for example, recruitment, induction, performance
assessment, termination, etc. Checklists are also provided as 'prompts' for
actions to take in relation to awards, agreements and contracts.
The HR Advance checklists are more than a simple
task list, they can serve as strategic business tools for planning and
effective human resource management.
Guidelines for using forms on this website
All checklists should be supported by sound
business practices and a set of sound workplace policies. For example, the HR
Advance Termination Checklist is most effective if used in conjunction with the
HR Advance Termination of Employment Policy.
Some matters raised in the checklists may not be
applicable to your business. The checklists provided in HR Advance are generic
documents which may need to be amended to suit the specific requirements of
your business.
