POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Welcome to the Montego Policy Hub
At Montego Pet Nutrition, a fair and productive workplace is built on clear standards and shared understanding. This Policy Hub brings together all Human Resources policies and procedures into a single, structured, easy-to-use digital Employee Manual.
The policies set out here define employee rights, responsibilities, and workplace expectations, and are aligned with applicable South African labour legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), Labour Relations Act (LRA), Employment Equity Act (EEA), and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
For ease of access, policies are organised into clearly defined categories and supported by the relevant forms, templates, and annexures where applicable.
Employees are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the policies that apply to their role and to refer to this hub whenever guidance is required.
