Planning for 2022
We hope that you have been able to enjoy some of our wonderful summer weather. After 2020 and 2021, I think we all hoped that 2022 would provide some respite, but with Omicron now in the community we are in for another year of challenges. Put some plans in place now and consider how you will deal with staff shortages and how you will continue to provide services during the Government phased response with different isolation requirements for cases and contacts

Management reporting

Central to this are management reports. These are prepared for stakeholders, and measure how the business is going over an extended period at a reasonably high level.

Documenting changes to employment arrangements
We sometimes get queries about how to document agreed changes, or more difficult situations when: • a pattern of work has changed over the years that has not been formalised, or • there was an agreed change for a trial that has continued, and the employee now considers these their regular hours of work.
