3 Policy Aims 1.1 Cheshire Constabulary is committed to creating working practices that ensure that all members of staff are treated fairly and equitably where action needs to be taken to manage efficiency. 1.2 The policy and associated procedures aim to introduce good employment practice by providing positive guidance that will enable staff to manage and understand the processes involved in managing staff efficiency, especially in relation to performance, efficiency and attendance. Associated Procedures 2.1 The Managing Staff Efficiency policy incorporates the following procedures: Managing Attendance (all staff) to ensure staff attend work on a regular and reliable basis and are properly supported and valued by caring managers so that Cheshire Constabulary has minimum levels of sickness absence Managing Performance (Police Staff) To ensure the force is committed to the consistent application of a fair and effective managing performance procedure which will help to minimise disagreements about disciplinary matters and reduce the need for dismissals. In all instances, the principals of fairness, reasonableness, and consistency are considered to be of the utmost importance. This procedure covers instances of discipline, capability and probationary periods for members of police staff Sickness extensions to pay - To ensure the force maintains a procedure to review, on an individual basis, an extension of pay during periods of sickness longer than those described in the pay and benefits package Probationer Under performance (Police Officers) - To ensure Cheshire Constabulary is committed to delivering improved police performance and greater public reassurance. In order to achieve this main objective we are committed to the development of our probationer constables to ensure that they are: Physically and mentally fit to perform the duties of the office, and Likely to become an efficient and well conducted constable Managing Unsatisfactory Performance The Police (Efficiency) (Amendment) Regulations The primary aim of the procedure is to improve Police Officer attendance within the force. It is envisaged that supportive action will in most cases achieve the desired effect of improving and maintaining an officer s attendance to an acceptable level. The procedure is also there to assist Managers in deciding when supportive action is not enough, how and when to use the formal procedures in the Police (Efficiency) Regulations 1999 (as amended) to manage unsatisfactory attendance of police officers In addition to these procedures there are also a number of documents contained within the Professional standards policy which should also be considered. These Version NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED 3

Supporting Statements 4.1 The Cheshire Constabulary is committed to providing the public of Cheshire, Halton and Warrington, with a first class ethical service using integrity to treat everyone fairly and to value everyone regardless of ethnic origin, religious belief, sexual orientation, disability, age or gender.
