Great resource, especially Vanash's HR basics. I am looking for ideas for a "Policies and Procedures" entry on how to deal with criminal records, both before employment and while in employ. As I understand it one should not discriminate against employees or prospective employees with criminal records unless these directly impact on their job function. I also understand that if an employee is arrested and jailed for a period of time, this is grounds for dismissal regardless of the crime. It would be great to look at an existing policy to see how it's worded.
