HR & Employment

Empowering your team

We know that your team are the fuel in your business.  Their skills, experiences and expertise help to set your business apart and so it’s important to you that your HR policies and positioning reflect your business and their vital role in it. We also know though that sometimes there are issues that you need support to handle and so whether you’re looking for bespoke HR policies, advice for an organisational restructure or new employment contracts drafted, the Jamieson Law team has you covered. 

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees, ensuring fair treatment and compliance with regulations. As a business owner, it's essential to stay up-to-date with these laws, particularly as new legislation is being introduced under the new Labour government which will impact you. If you're unsure about your obligations, just reach out to us and we’ll talk you through what to expect.

Employee handbooks outline how things are done in the workplace. They typically cover important policies such as health and safety, holidays, sick leave, grievance and disciplinary procedures, equality, various types of leave, benefits, working hours, and more.  They act as a one stop shop for your employees to find information and understand how your business operates.

Your employment contracts start right from the moment you issue an offer letter but it doesn’t stop there.  Your employment contract should set out the key terms of employment for your new member of staff and should sign post them to your policies and handbook for more detailed insights.  These contracts set the tone for your engagement and should reflect your business ethics and tone of voice.

If you don't have an internal HR team, outsourcing HR support is an excellent option for managing complex situations. Dismissals or redundancy processes are often emotionally charged and there is strict legislation governing what is and isn’t acceptable.  Engaging with a legal partner like Jamieson Law alleviates much of the administrative burden, ensuring tasks are completed correctly and fairly.

TUPE or The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, protects employees' terms and conditions when a business or service provision is transferred to a new employer. This is often required in a business sale or merger and needs careful consideration and negotiation with the buyer.

An organisational restructure can impact everyone, departments or individuals in a business.   Often the process aims to enhance company operations, add or remove resources to respond to changes in the market or economy, and sometimes to reduce costs ahead of a business event. This can be a challenging time where insightful legal support can create peace of mind that the process is fair and evenly handled.
