Key points in drawing up instructions

The domestic regulatory framework does not specify the parameters for creating instructions. Therefore, when writing it, employers focus on adapting standard instructions for their needs, in accordance with the principles of office work. These samples are available in two versions: standard and extended.

Mandatory parts of the standard instructions:

Common parameters.
Professional features.
Potential Liability.
Job opportunities.

This type of instruction is used for most workers, especially in small and medium-sized organizations. In large institutions, as well as when writing instructions for management-level employees, an extended version is used. It adds to the standard sections:

Features of work activity.
Rules for performance assessment (KPI).
Parameters of job interactions.
Instruction conversion order.

The expanded format allows you to formalize a larger number of labor parameters. The price for this is a reduction in the flexibility of labor relations.

Basic provisions

The introductory part lists the requirements for the candidate’s qualifications, the parameters of his personnel interactions (the procedure for hiring, dismissal, replacement), and the provisions that he should focus on in his work.

The main role is played by the required skills, which are required to ensure that the functions given in the next section are performed at a high level. And criteria based on experience and education make it possible to screen out candidates with an insufficient level of training.

Attention! Job descriptions can be drawn up either in a standard manner or individually. In the first case, the instructions are suitable for any specialist in a certain position, and in the second, they are written for a specific highly qualified worker.

Functions

This part describes the responsibilities assigned to the specialist. There are several conditional groups of these responsibilities:

The main ones are typical for the profession of any employer.
Auxiliary - complement the main functions; their scope and complexity depend on the policies and characteristics of the employing organization.
Basic - included in instructions for any profession: compliance with fire and technical safety standards, labor discipline, etc.

If an employer provides an employee with any valuables (tools, clothes for work, etc.), then the need to treat them with care is specifically mentioned.

Responsibility

This part is reserved for listing possible violations and penalties. Since responsibility is built on the basis of current legislation, the scope and diversity of which take it beyond the scope of the instructions, the section is compiled in a truncated form, with a small amount of specifics.

Rights

The section describes rights additional to those already granted to the employee in Art. 21 TK. As a general rule, the greater the responsibility of an employee, the greater the opportunities he has.

Working conditions

This section is added if the employer wants to identify some specific features in work activity. Traditionally, this includes additional benefits: training at the expense of the employer, free branded clothing, etc. If the work involves a non-standard work schedule, then this point is stated in this section.

Before being put into effect, the instruction must go through a number of approval stages:

The initially drafted version is shown to a lawyer specializing in labor law and the head of the personnel department.
The version with their edits is agreed upon with relevant specialists in the area for which the instructions are being drawn up.
The final version is printed on company letterhead, including official attributes (date of compilation, details of the organization, etc.), and sent for signature to those persons who approved its content.
At the final stage, signatures are placed by the head of the employing organization and the employee for whom the instructions were written.

Attention! The employee has the right to request from the HR department his copy of the instruction, which can be issued in paper or electronic format. In the second option, personal information is first deleted from it.
