HR Documents and Records
If you have staff, even casual or temporary staff, then you need to document their time with you. At the very least you should have a personnel file for each worker, containing their personal details and basic information.
In addition to this you may need templates for a range of employment contracts, holiday or absence forms, appraisal paperwork, job descriptions... the requirements can seem endless.
We can help you by providing a full suite of customised documents for your business that are guaranteed to be compliant with ACAS guidelines and best practice. We can review these with you annually to make sure they still fit the bill, and we can keep you up to date with any changes to HR law that may affect your business.
HR Policies and Procedures
The best way to protect your business and your staff from the many issues that can arise throughout an employer/employee relationship, is to be crystal clear about your expectations and what your workers can expect from you.
Policies and procedures for all the key aspects of the employment relationship are a great way to minimise the risk of misunderstanding and create a consistent approach to staff management.
These may include codes of conduct, disciplinary procedures, how to deal with harassment or bullying, workplace stress, maternity and paternity benefits... we can provide you with a full suite of policies that are compliant with ACAS guidelines, and we can help you issue these and keep them up to date.
Employee Relations and Case Work
The longer you're in business for and the more workers you engage, the greater the likelihood that you're going to run into an issue.
Whatever the issue is and however impossible it may seem, there will be a way to resolve it that minimises the risk to your business whilst staying compliant with HR legislation and best practice.
The sooner you get in touch with us, the easier it will be for us to help you. We can offer one-off advice, or we can guide you through the process to conclusion. Let us know what you need and we'll be on hand to help.
Legal Compliance
As an employer you have a number of legal obligations. Can you prove that all your workers are eligible to work in the UK? Can you guarantee that they're all earning at least the minimum wage, even if they're paid on piece rate? Are your subcontractors bona fide sole traders and companies, or should they really be employees?
We can run these checks for you on new and existing employees, or we can help you to get systems in place to protect yourself from risk. We can also provide you with templates for record keeping that will help you stay legally compliant. There are a range of support options available and we'd be happy to chat to you about them.
