P&P vs Competancy

[citylmt7]

What's the difference between a policy and procedure and a competancy?

[sheper1]

Policies and procedures are rules or guides for action. They are statement of the company or department's objectives and principles for doing business. They are intended as a guide for personnel in getting their jobs done.
Competancy demonstates the persons knowledge and ability to perform the duties established by the policy and procedures of the department.

Here's a stupid question do i need a p/p on locked doors in the dept.? I already have a p/p on after hours procedures that includes hours of operation.

[sheper1]

If you require the doors to be lock after hours I would just include that in your after hours policy and procedure I would not have a separate one for the lock doors. I have mine included in my after hours policy.
