Our company rules state that mobile phones are switched off during work time. However, if anyone has a private & personal matter whereby they need to be contactable, they are allowed to have their phones switched on. Simply a matter of discussion, our respect for employees' private lives and common sense judgement of each case on its own merits. No-one so far has abused the privilege.

I agree with Edward. Common sense often gets left at the workplace door. My ongoing struggle is to get employees to recognise that it isn't just down to the bosses with responsibility for H & S but they have a duty of care for themselves and their colleagues too.

Hi,
I've been asked to look into CRB and Credit checks on our employees who have access to customers' credit card details when they order our goods. Reason being, imminent changes in legislation. Can't find anything on the FSA website and the CRB site only seems to refer to working with children/disadvantaged adults. Anyone come across this? What are the implications of checking on existing employees?

Can anyone help with a query re holidays/bank holidays and maternity leave? Our employee's contract states 25 days paid holidays (5 of which are to be taken at Christmas) + bank holidays. She is starting maternity leave in July. I understand she can't be paid in lieu of holidays but should she take her full entitlement, including August Bank Holiday, Christmas Day & Boxing day, BEFORE going on leave?
