Managing people has never been more challenging.
Not only has the law grown and evolved over the last few years, giving business owners more boxes to tick, more documents to prepare, and – frankly – more to get wrong, it’s also become a LOT easier for you to end up in hot water.
At present, the barrier to employment tribunal is lower than ever – it costs an ex-employee nothing to put forward a claim, and if it goes all the way and you’re found guilty, you could be on the hook for a sizeable, four-figure sum.
How do you prevent employment tribunals?
The truth is, you can’t, but what you CAN do is ensure that if you do end up in one, you’ve done everything right, and you’ve got nothing to worry about.
That’s where we come in.

What we do and how we do it.
When it comes to HR, you name it, we do it, so if you’ve got a people management problem, whether you’re missing a crucial document, or you’ve got an issue with a staff member, get in touch and we can help. Here’s how we do what we do:
Employment Contracts
In addition to contracts, it’s vital to have policies and procedures in place to let both employer and employee know what’s expected of them..
Effectively, HR policies provide a description of what you and your employees are entitled to, and what both parties are expected to do too.
Some policies are legally required, while others aren’t, but the more policies you have, the more you keep your employees informed about the way you operate, and the less chance you’ve got of something slipping through the net.
We can take care of the whole contract drafting process for you – to talk to us about contracts, call us on 01980 622167 or click here to book a call.
Policies and Procedures
In addition to contracts, it’s vital to have policies and procedures in place to let both employer and employee know what’s expected of them.
Effectively, HR policies provide a description of what you and your employees are entitled to, and what both parties are expected to do too.
Some policies are legally required, while others aren’t, but the more policies you have, the more you keep your staff informed about the way you operate, and the less chance you’ve got of something slipping through the net.
Some examples of policies include:
- Maternity/paternity/parental leave
- Redundancy
- Equality and diversity
- Discipline, capability and grievance
- Welling
- Bullying and harassment
- Drugs and alcohol
- Social media
- And many more!
Procedures go hand-in-hand with policies, specifying what needs to happen in order to comply with certain policies.
Whether you need your policies reviewed, redrafted, or you don’t have any policies at all, we can help – just call us on 01980 622167, or book a call and we’ll be happy to help.
Employee Handbook
An employee handbook is a critical tool to help you make sure your employees know what’s expected of them and their relationship with your organisation.
In it, you’re able to set out everything they’ll need to know about their employment with you, from what they should do when planning annual leave, through to how to call in sick.
With a comprehensive handbook in place, you give your staff all the tools to work effectively for you, while also protecting yourself if there are any issues further down the line.
To talk to us about compiling your employee handbook, or reviewing your current one, call us on 01980 622167 or book a call.
