Clarify understanding with your supervisor

At times workplace documents can be confusing or hard to read. They will often refer to important legislation and may contain legal terminology that you may not understand.

It is important that you seek clarification from your supervisor if you do not understand information you have read in documents that relate to your role.

Clarification involves seeking additional information on the subject, repeating your understanding of the matter back to your supervisor, and then checking that what you understand is correct.

It is important that you clarify any information that you are unsure about so that you do not accidentally breach your workplace procedures and legislative duties.
