What type of policies are classified as 'mandatory' within SWLCAT?

Mandatory policies within SWLCAT are those that relate to legal compliance and safety regulations. These policies are essential because they ensure that the organization adheres to laws and regulations that are designed to protect both the employees and the organization itself. For example, such policies may cover workplace safety standards, anti-discrimination laws, and environmental regulations.

These policies are not optional; they have to be followed strictly to avoid legal repercussions and ensure a safe working environment. In contrast, policies regarding employee benefits, teamwork encouragement, or job performance evaluations serve different purposes and, while they may be important for organizational culture and employee satisfaction, they do not carry the same legal obligation as mandatory policies tied to compliance and safety.
