Policies and procedures communicate the values of your organization and provide everyone with a consistent process to follow.  ECEC providers must comply with legislation regardless of their work setting. It is good practice for managers to develop human resources policies that help their centres meet their legislative obligations as well as deal with day-to-day issues. The HR policies and practices that your organization uses must reflect the local laws and regulations around each issue.
