Paid days to volunteer

Hi Fabulous HR Gurus

We have implemented a new initiative for paid days to volunteer (3 a year), I've added a policy and procedure but do i need to add it to employment contracts? i can do a quick contract variation letter and we don't have a huge organisation so only mildly time-consuming with the help of mail merge but i felt like policy and procedure plus it adding to our employee benefits handbook section would be enough.

Any thoughts on the matter would be very much appreciated

  • Morning Michelle,
    Just a quick one to say thank you to your organisation for supporting volunteering. My remit is across HR and volunteering for my organisation (a Cathedral) and next year I am going to be doing some work to see how we can attract people from local employers to consider us for their volunteering days. It's great to hear of other organisations supporting with time off.
