Small Workplaces

For small workforces, the employer may not need to implement the type of formal policy and complaint procedure that a large employer would need. Oral communication of the policy and procedure at staff meetings can be enough, if the mechanism is an effective one. If a complaint is made, the employer must be prompt, thorough, and impartial in its investigation, and swift and appropriate with corrective action.
