Keep personal errands separate from office support duties
An office boy's brief should distinguish business tasks from employees' personal requests. A clear boundary protects the agreed workload and avoids competing informal expectations.

Define the employer's scope
List the errands the business actually requires and who may approve them. Explain whether personal errands are excluded. Do not assume that working in an office means being available for every employee's shopping or private delivery. The candidate should understand the arrangement before accepting the placement and salary.
Give the worker a referral route
If a request is outside the brief, the worker should be able to refer it to the supervisor without having to argue with the requester. The supervisor owns the boundary and should communicate it to colleagues. This is more effective than expecting the worker to enforce an unfamiliar workplace policy alone.
Assess any proposed exception
An occasional request still takes time and may affect other duties. The responsible person should consider permission, expenses and whether the worker agrees to the task. A one-off exception should not silently create a recurring obligation. Keep the decision separate from assumptions about helpfulness or willingness to work.
Review the effect on service
If personal requests repeatedly delay office duties, address the request process rather than blaming the worker for missed tasks. Clarify priorities and remove conflicting instructions. If the employer genuinely wants a combined personal-and-office support role, discuss that as an explicit brief with Staffly and the candidate. Give staff a simple way to refer an unclear request to the supervisor without having to debate its priority with individual employees.
A practical example to adapt
Example: an employee asks the office boy to collect a personal parcel during meeting preparation. The worker refers the request to the supervisor, who explains that personal errands are outside the placement. The employee makes another arrangement. The support worker continues the agreed task without being forced to choose between a colleague's request and the office schedule.
