1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 AUTHORITY

This Policies and Procedures Manual developed for the LAHORE WASTE MANAGEMENT
COMPANY (“LWMC“) provides guide lines for effective management of Human
Resource. It applies to all staff members on the permanent payroll of LWMC and re-
deployed staff of City District Government, Lahore.

1.2 MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Human Resource Department is to support the goals and
challenges of LWMC by providing quality service in all personnel operations with
integrity, responsiveness and sensitivity to the employees and to promote a work
environment that is characterized by fair treatment of staff, open communications,
personal accountability, trust and mutual respect. Engage the best possible human
resource, and raise a dedicated and loyal team, to meet the requirements, mission
and objectives of LWMC.

1.3 HR POLICY STATEMENT

This manual is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, a contract
between LWMC and any employee. In the event of a discrepancy between this
manual and the collective bargaining agreement covering employees, if any, the
terms of the bargaining agreement will govern.

This manual should be used as a reference and as a general guide. It is expected


that managers and heads of departments will strive to apply these policies
equitably, and that appropriate consideration will be given to previous actions that
may have been taken prior to implementation of this manual. However, this
manual is not intended to be an inflexible rule book; rather it should be a resource
for interpreting the variety of individual situations that can occur in the workplace.

The manual will be helpful to:

 Provide an on job reference guide for the written policies and procedures to
be followed;

Page 8
HUMAN RESOURCE MANUAL
Lahore Waste Management Company

 Clarify the HR organizational roles, structure and responsibilities;

 Provide guidance to ensure the adoption of best practices;

 Provide means for the constant review and improvement of policies and
procedures; and

 Aid in performance management of the permanent and contract staff of LWMC.

In each case when the policies in this manual are applied to different situations
including employee performance and counseling, action will be determined by
LWMC on the basis of the particular facts or circumstances. Human resource issues
which are not directly addressed in this manual should be referred to the Human
Resources Department. The HR Manual should be read in conjunction with the
