Should your business fall short of employment law compliance, you will at risk of costly tribunals, large claims and legal costs, as well as higher insurance policies. Poorly managed people can lead to high staff turnover, bad morale, weak performance and reduced productivity. Complex HR issues often result in a lot of time spent away from your business and lost revenue. Therefore, professional HR support is likely to be your most important investment.

Do you have the right person in your business managing your HR?

• Do you know how to legally deal with employee conduct issues, such as lateness, attitude, poor quality work and failure to meet deadlines?
• Do you have full peace of mind that your business is fully compliant with Employment Law?
• Do you lack the budget to employ a HR Manager, but you employ more than 5 people?
• Are you aware of the legal compliance relating to Redundancy and TUPE?
• Are you 100% confident that you could avoid an Employment Tribunal?

Remember, there is no fee to lodge an employment tribunal claim for disgruntled ex-employees – they have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

A client had an issue with an employee’s conduct towards female employees, which resulted in customer complaints and almost a loss of the contract. This was a complex situation, as it included race, sex and disability discrimination. The employee was supported by a trade union, which only served to disrupt the procedure, rather than actually supporting his member. The result was the fair dismissal of the employee and the contract was saved.

You will be required to pay 3 months in advance, and then payments are made monthly by direct debit.
