Welcome to Hartley & Co. We're delighted to have you join our team.

This handbook is your guide to working with us. It covers everything from your day-to-day responsibilities to your rights and entitlements as an employee. We've designed it to be clear, practical, and easy to navigate.

Whether you're looking for information about annual leave, need to understand our approach to flexible working, or want to know how we handle workplace concerns, you'll find it all here.

This handbook is not a contract of employment, but it does set out the standards and expectations that apply to everyone at Hartley & Co. Your individual terms and conditions are confirmed in your employment contract.

We review and update this handbook regularly to ensure it reflects current UK employment law and best practice. The version number and date at the top of this page tell you when it was last updated.

At Hartley & Co, we believe in:

Integrity — We do what we say we'll do, and we treat everyone fairly.

Quality — We take pride in our work and hold ourselves to high standards.

Collaboration — We achieve more when we work together, share ideas, and support one another.

Respect — We value every member of our team and the diverse perspectives they bring.

If you have any questions about this handbook or your employment with us, please don't hesitate to speak to your manager or contact HR. We're always happy to help.
