These include the incorporating social media in the internet and email policy, a replacement to the dispute resolution procedure for employee grievances and a new workplace drug and alcohol policy after a review by Local Government Insurance Services.

While the Manual is designed to cope with many circumstances, it is not intended as a complete guide.  Situations that are complex in nature should be directed to Local Government Workplace Solutions, for assistance on phone 1300 366 956.
