Instructions to Assessor
Prior to conducting the assessment read this document in its entirety with the individual or group of
learners and seek feedback on the understanding of the assessment requirements and outcomes.
Contextualise the activities, observations/demonstrations and other submitted evidence to ensure it
reflects the individual learner or group. Check this against the mapping, to ensure it is still valid. This
assessment has been contextualised to better reflect the required learner information and outcome
of assessment.
Ensure that the learner is allocated the appropriate time and resources required for the tasks,
including that the workplace (or simulated environment for learners that are not working) is suitable
for the parameters of any required task, to ensure the learners will have an appropriate opportunity
to satisfactorily demonstrate their required skills and knowledge to result in a Satisfactory (S) result
for the assessment tool and Competent (CO) in the Unit of Competency (UOC) overall.
Advise the learner prior to conducting a practical observation assessment of;
 what will occur throughout the assessment process
 when the assessment will occur
 the level of competency expected
 how many times they must be assessed and demonstrate a satisfactory result as per the unit
training pack requirements
When appropriate, confirm arrangements for a third party to observe the learner in the workplace,
with the learner and the third party, including, that the third party understands the requirements
and instructions regarding the Third Party Observations/Demonstrations. The third party must be
someone in a position to make a valid comment on performance of the learner, e.g. Line Manger
Use the checklists and answer guides to assist you with marking, but never show or share them with
the learner or the third party. Gather supporting documents, where available and appropriate, as
evidence to help you make a judgement of the learner’s competency.
The learner needs to be deemed satisfactory for all of the criteria in the unit to gain competency.
When the assessment is complete, advise the learner of the outcome and record your comments in
the relevant section. You must determine whether they are CO or Not Competent (NC) and provide
appropriate and meaningful feedback.
If you are resulting the learner NC, ensure you outline why you have made this decision, and provide
advice on how the learner can improve skills/knowledge prior to their next attempt.
Where learners are unable to complete the tasks in the methods specified due to situations beyond
your/their control, you will need to make reasonable adjustments, without compromising the
assessment tool(s).

Question 1
OBJECTIVE Identify the key provisions of legal and compliance requirements that apply to the organisation

take care of health & safety measures. Visitors also have legal duty to take care of their acts that it does
not affect the organisation adversely.
 Maintaining bank accounts: It is legal obligation of an organisation to maintain bank accounts, overdrafts,
loans & investments. Auditors are appointed to check accounts of an organisation.
 Annual statement or report: Companies are supposed to maintain their annual statement to show their
clear report of profits & loss. It is easy for investors also to invest in a company by going through the
annual report. Annual reports are checked by auditors for a fair judgement.
Question 2
OBJECTIVE Summarise relevant organisational policy and procedure frameworks
Summarise one policy or procedure implemented within simulated organisation, considering any strengths or
weaknesses (less than 100 words).
Attendance policy: Attendance policy is useful for organisations in which employees are supposed to report on
time every day and are motivated to keep high record of attendance. This policy also includes rules related to
absenteeism.
Strength:
 Adaptable to learning: Employees who are regular are more adaptable to learn new things.
 Discourage casual absence: When there is attendance policy in the organisation, employees can not take
leaves without any notification.
Weakness:
 Lack of flexibility: Employees lose their interest towards work, when they found more stick to rules.
 Organizational headache: Taking attendance daily can be headache for organisations.

 Adoption of code of practice for self-regulation: An organisation needs to follow a certain standard after
adoption of code of conduct. A single code of conduct is applied to all the employees of organisation.
 Laws & regulatory framework: Employees are discriminated on the basis of gender, age & disability. But
after the evolution of these laws, perception of employees has changed towards each other. Employees
can be judged only on the basis of performance.
Question 4
OBJECTIVE Explain how information technology can help analyse human resource metrics
Explain, in no more than 50 words, how technology can help you to analyse human resource metrics.
The use of technology has impacted human resource metrics. It helps to post jobs over internet in the recruitment
process. It is possible to train large number of employees in the virtual classrooms. It has reduced paperwork by
data storage & many software programs can examine performance of employees by using metrics.
Question 5
OBJECTIVE Outline the roles and responsibilities of human resource practitioners.
Reflecting on your own work, outline the roles and responsibilities of a human resource practitioner (less than
250 words).
The person who has interpersonal & decision making skills can be proved a good human resource practitioner. The
practitioner should possess degree in human resource or business. The human resource practitioner put jobs with
description online, in newspapers & through job recruitment agencies. After posting job, candidates are chosen
according to the requirement of organisation. Then employees are called for interviews. Employees are hired on
the basis of skills & experience. In the orientation process, employees are introduced to other employees and
training is provided to these employees. Training can be provided in the virtual classrooms too so that online
training is given to large number of employees in a classroom. The practitioner conducts special programs like
safety & health measures at work place, interprets human resource policies and evaluates the implementation of
HR strategies. Employee can be satisfied only if better work conditions & safety measures are provided.
Practitioner not only provides guideline to managers but also provides better opportunities for promotion. Every
HR is focused on competitive advantage and performance management to make organisation better. Human
resource metrics are also used by practitioner at the time of hiring, promotion, measuring performance and at the
time of calculating absenteeism percentage.
