Why Have Personnel Policies & Procedures?
'Policies' are general guidelines that regulate employee actions. 'Procedures' are customary methods of handling activities and can be more specific than policies.
Developing clearly written policies and procedures that are documented, updated, and followed assists in the day-to-day decision-making process as well as provides structure to an organization. Policies and procedures need to be adaptable to the needs of the organization it represents as well as enforced. They serve as an internal control method so tribal employees and other applicable entities cannot take free license to make creative or unathorized decisions. This is why we have decided to make this an available resource you can access online anytime of day.
New employees need to become familiar with the tribes policies and procedures to understand such factors such as dress requirements, breaks and lunch practices, working hours, electronic equipment use, treatment of tribal property, and confidential information. All employees must understand policies in regards to vacation, sick time, leaving early, holiday pay, medical leaves, and benefits.
Policies and procedures need to be accessible to all employees and you can find them on our TERO website. Please feel free to refer to them anytime you may need them. You will also be provided a copy of the policies and procedures manual by the Human Resources Director.
The Fort Peck Tribes will be held accountable for the timely review, updating, and distribution of this information.
