About Clean TeamWe offer an innovative, affordable sanitation solution for low-income communities in the developing world
Millions of people worldwide do not have access to the kind of safe and hygienic sanitation facilities that many of us take for granted. We believe this is unacceptable. We want to transform lives by delivering safe, hygienic and convenient sanitation facilities into the homes of low-income urban dwellers in the developing world.
People of all ages, regardless of circumstance, deserve the right to perform their necessary bodily functions in safety, without the risk of spreading or contracting disease. Our mission is to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy that right.
We offer an affordable, reliable solution to the problem of inadequate sanitation infrastructure in countries that are struggling to provide for the basic needs of their burgeoning urban populations. We work with the local population and tailor to their needs, providing employment and a sustainable business model along with our unique sanitation solution.
Simple, empowering, effective.

We are excited to welcome you to Clean Team!
We are a team of motivated individuals who are empowered to provide affordable and dignified solutions to the problem of inadequate sanitation. Helping others is at the forefront of everything we do and we are glad you have joined us at this exciting stage of our journey.
We consider our people to be our key assets and I am committed to helping them develop their skills, knowledge and experience in order to help them succeed individually, and as part of a team. We believe a positive working environment is essential for this and are constantly looking for new ways to get the best out of one another.
P lease use th i s employee handbook as an information guide on your employment with Clean Team. It includes our main policies and procedures and some quick facts to help ensure your time at Clean Team is as enjoyable, productive and successful as possible.

Introduction
Principles
The purpose of this policy is to help
you through the exciting time of
becoming a new father. We
understand this can be a difficult
time for you, so please speak to
your manager should you have any
concerns.
• You are entitled to take up to 2
weeks leave, in addition to any
annual leave, after the birth of
your new baby
This policy applies to all employees in all positions at Clean Team Ghana Limited
• Whilst on paternity leave, your
contract will not be adapted -
you will receive your full salary
and any additional benefits as
normal
• Please note that this policy is
restricted to the birth of children
by your primary spouse only
• Should your primary spouse
have a medical condition
which is certified by a
registered practitioner, you
may be given additional leave
during her pregnancy or after
she has given birth. This will be
discretionary and discussed on
a case by case basis.
Over 2.6 billion people on the planet do not have access to adequate sanitation. Every day in the developing world, thousands of tonnes of human faeces are disposed of inadequately, polluting water supplies and spreading disease, mainly amongst women and children. 1.8 million people die every year from diarrheal diseases, and 90% of these are children under the age of 5.
2.5 billion people – roughly 37 per cent
of the world's population – still lack
what many of us take for granted:
access to adequate sanitation.
• If you have a medical condition
which is certified by a
registered practitioner, you
will be given additional leave
during pregnancy or after you
have given birth. This will be
discretionary and discussed on
a case by case basis
• If you are nursing your baby,
you will be given one hour a
day to attend to his/her needs
for a period of up to 1 year.
This will be treated as working
hours and will not affect your
salary
