All new staff are supervised until we are happy they are working to our high standards. There is also an option for additional training – Minster Cleaning are an accredited training centre for the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) and many of our staff have achieved the Licence to Practice accreditation.
Local management gives the customer access to local decision makers. There are no protracted lines of management to go through to get a decision. Having supervisors that are local is a further benefit as they are able to react quickly to any problems and to carry out regular site inspections.
Minster Cleaning follows and maintains rigorously the requirements of Section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996. No cleaner would ever be deployed / employed without meeting all applicable criteria within the act.
Under the terms of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) act we have, along with our HR advisors, developed robust systems for assessing the potential of employee transfer(s). We are very experienced operating with this legislation and will keep you informed of the steps we are taking to evaluate any potential transfer. Most transfers are pretty straight forward but it is important that the cleaners are consulted with throughout the process by their current employer.
