Employment Law Advice
What is employment law advice?
Employment law regulates the relationship between employers and employees. Employers must make sure that they are complying with the law. If you are unsure of what you should be complying with as a business owner, get in touch and we can give you advice.
Assistance in key areas like – absence management, TUPE etc
What is TUPE?
This is the ‘Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations’. This is an essential part of UK labour law, and it protects employees whose job / business is being transferred to another business.
Dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues
How can you help with disciplinary and grievance issues?
We are on hand to help advise you when dealing with staff issues, whether this is due to disciplinary issues, where someone has raised a grievance, or where you're looking to exit an employee from your business. This can be a tricky situation to navigate, and we can help present you with all options and risks associated with each course of action.
Creation of employee handbooks and employment policies
Why do I need employee handbooks and policies?
These help to demonstrate how things are done in the workplace. Policies that are usually included in the handbook may include topics such as: health and safety, holidays, sick leave, grievance/disciplinary, equality, leave, benefits, working hours, etc.
Provision of offer letters, employment contracts, privacy notices
Why is this important?
Offer letters are important because this is the final stage in the hiring process, which your ideal candidate has to accept to become employed with you. You want to maintain professionalism and set deadlines.
An employment contract is a legal requirement for someone entering into employment. You want to cover all bases.
A privacy notice is important for data protection, covering how your business collects, uses and retains personal data.
Managing dismissal and redundancies
Do I need support to deal with dismissal and redundancies?
If you don’t have an internal HR team, outsourcing HR support is a great option to deal with these difficult situations. It takes away a lot of administration and paperwork, ensuring things are getting completed properly and safely. We are on hand to help you with any dismissals/redundancies and can present you with all options and risks associated with each course of action.
Policy and procedure reviews and updates
Why would I need a policy and procedure review and update?
These documents keep your business up to date with the latest policies and regulations. These documents help to protect your business and your employees.
Managing business reorganisations
How can you help with managing business reorganisations?
Our experienced lawyers can help with strategic planning of your business’ organisational and financial structure. We can assist with putting key documentation and procedures in place for reorganisation, whether this is due to a merger, acquisition, or some other restructuring. We have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating all sorts of corporate deals.
Drafting day-to-day correspondence and emails
What are the benefits of this?
Think about emails as business letters. Business letters are formal, have a certain tone and are focused on getting a point across. Emails should be treated the same. We can help you draft day-to-day emails which will suit the tone of your business, and in turn, spell out what is expected by the receiver (business related or employees).
