Employment Law and Legal Issues
Employee contracts
As part of our service we will review your current contracts
and, if required, draft new contracts for use within the business
taking into account the roles, the current legislation and
specific requirements such as non-solicitation and confidentiality
clauses. We will ensure all new staff are issued with the
agreed contracts within the specified timescales.
Policies and procedures
Our specialists will review your existing handbook and liaise
with you on the policies/procedures required for your business.
Our consultants will also advise you on policies that you
currently do not have in place or those requiring updates.
Let us organise these policies and procedures into a company
handbook which you can then make available to staff. As part
of the service we also ensure that these policies are kept
up to date in line with the latest legislation.
We also review your procedures and work closely with you
to ensure these are implemented effectively. Where appropriate
we attend key events such as disciplinary meetings to ensure
the correct procedure is followed and drafting the appropriate
correspondence minimalising litigation risk.
Employment law advice
We provide employment law advice for Directors, Managers
and Supervisors supporting them when dealing with day to day
hassles of employee misconduct and absence. This advice can
be provided by telephone or e-mail.
Employment letters and forms
We will review all of your current employment correspondence
- letters of offer, warning letters, change letters etc and
update these to ensure that they are in line with constantly
changing legislation. As part of the service we also ensure
you have the full range of standard HR documentation for every
employment circumstance to save you time.
Compromise agreements
In the event that you terminate an employee’s employment,
an effective way to minimise the risk of being taken to an
Employment Tribunal, is to use a compromise agreement. We
will draft these agreements to take into account the employee
and the circumstances thus reduce the amount of legal fees
you will need to pay to make it enforceable.
Transfer under TUPE
If you are involved in acquiring or merging other businesses
and there is a transfer of staff involved we can support you
by advising on the TUPE implications and working with you
to ensure the transfer is completed satisfactorily.
