Mundare Council approved three new Human Resource policies at their Aug. 6 regular council meeting.
Prior to the passage of the policies the Town had nothing to enforce employee code of conduct, any respectful workplace policy or any regarding drugs and alcohol usage.
Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla said the three policies were developed after working with a Human Resources consultant.
He said the policies had been included in the Town’s safety policies but nothing had been formalized.
The first policy dealt specifically with an employee code of con- duct, the second policy would deal with having a respectful workplace policy and the third policy was an alcohol policy.
Councillor Glen Rozumniak moved the three policies be passed and council voted in favour of his motion.
Zyla said he had needed help with the human resources area and when the consultant was brought in he was told those three were important to be implemented. He added there will be other policies that will be brought forward to council in the future.
Zyla also added the consultant would come and meet with staff to go over the three new policies so staff would know what was expected of them.
