PERSONNEL

Scope Note:
The function of managing all employees in the organisation. Employees include Ministerial, permanent, temporary and part-time employees, people working under scholarships, traineeships, apprenticeships and similar relationships. Includes appeals, overtime, salaries, superannuation and working hours when related to persons rather than to Industrial Relations.
Also includes arrangements for staff travel and the provision of childcare by the agency.

See the University's Record Keeping Manual for directions on the creation, maintenance, security and disposal of personal information. List personal files alphabetically by name or numerically by serial number. The files may be kept in a separate filing system.

See STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT for long term plans and policies regarding employees, such as Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) plans and Ethnic Affairs Policy Statements (EAPS).

Tip: If the organisation wants to specify the category of staff so that all files relating to the one category are grouped together, specify the category immediately after the relevant descriptor as a name in singular form, eg. PERSONNEL - EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS - Matron/Field Officer.

Tip: For travel arrangements, the relevant keyword and activity descriptor may be used, eg. STAFF DEVELOPMENT - CONFERENCES. PERSONNEL - ARRANGEMENTS - Travel may be used if the organisation wishes to document copies of all travel arrangements on one file. Add the name of individual staff members as free text if required. Classify travel arrangements for those who are not personnel with terms from the organisation's functional thesaurus.

Tip: PERSONNEL - MARKETING should only be used for recruitment campaigns.
