Policies, Procedures and Contracts
The right documentation doesn't just protect your business — it sets the standard for how your business operates.
Having the right policies, procedures, and contracts in place is one of the most fundamental things you can do as an employer. Without them, you're exposed to legal risk, inconsistency, and the kind of people issues that are far harder — and more costly — to resolve without a clear framework to refer back to.
But good documentation isn't just about legal compliance. Done well, it gives your employees clarity on what's expected of them, how they'll be supported, and what they can expect from you in return. That clarity builds trust — and trust builds better workplaces.
HR Staple creates, reviews, and implements HR documentation for businesses across Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Central Scotland — from single contracts and standalone policies through to a complete suite of employment documents tailored specifically to your business.
What We Can Help With
Employment Contracts Clear, legally compliant contracts of employment tailored to your business and the specific roles within it — covering everything from hours and pay to notice periods, confidentiality, and beyond.
Staff Handbooks A well-written staff handbook is one of the most useful tools you can give your employees. We create comprehensive, readable handbooks that bring your policies together in one place and reflect your culture, values, and the way your business actually works.
Key Policies and Procedures We develop bespoke policies across all the areas that matter most, including:
Performance Management
Disciplinary and Grievance
Sickness and Absence Management
Probation
Flexible Working
Health and Safety
Data Protection and Confidentiality
Letters, Forms, and Templates From offer letters and contract variations to formal outcome letters and HR forms — we provide the supporting documentation your managers need to handle people matters consistently, confidently, and correctly.
Bespoke to Your Business
Every document we produce is written specifically for you — not adapted from a generic template downloaded from the internet. We take the time to understand your business, your people, and your culture before we put a single word on the page. The result is documentation that actually gets used, because it actually makes sense to the people reading it.
The Result
Legal compliance, reduced risk, and a clear, consistent framework that gives both you and your employees the confidence to know exactly where you stand.
Not sure if your documentation is up to date or fit for purpose? We're happy to take a look.
