Frequently Asked Questions

Foundational HR & Management

HR is about the effective management of people, supporting an organisation in its day-to-day running and meeting strategic goals. Common activities associated with an HR department include:

  • Resource planning and recruitment,
  • Writing employee contracts, procedures and policies, typically organised in a staff handbook,
  • Dealing with staff issues such as grievances,
  • Managing discipline issues and performance management,
  • Team restructuring and redundancies,
  • Assessments and team building,
  • Organising staff pay and benefits,
  • Training and career development.

Good human resource management provides round-the-clock support when business managers need it most. Whether you’re facing a staff challenge or an important update to legal legislation, having the help you need at the end of the phone is vital.

Legal & Compliance Requirements

Whilst your business is not legally required to have an HR department, you must follow and comply with employment laws. This is where many businesses choose to outsource their HR services to ensure compliance and legal adherence.

You need to provide HR documentation, such as employee contracts, an employee handbook, and you’ll also need to make sure that your employees are familiar with your business’s policies. These are important steps to take to protect your business. We’ll take the time to create these documents with you, to make sure that you are covered.

Certain workplace policies are required by law. You must address disciplinary and grievance procedures, health and safety and equal opportunities. However, a comprehensive HR policy that works hand in hand with happy, empowered employees goes well beyond the statutory minimum.

Employees have various rights. These include;

  • Payment of Statutory Sick Pay,
  • Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and shared parental leave and pay,
  • The right not to be unfairly dismissed,
  • Statutory redundancy pay,
  • The National Minimum/Living Wage,
  • Protection against unlawful wage deductions,
  • Itemised pay statements,
  • Statutory minimum level of paid holiday,
  • Statutory minimum length of rest breaks,
  • Notice of termination of employment,
  • Time off for family emergencies,
  • Not working more than 48 hrs on average per week, or to opt out of this, should they choose to do so,
  • Protection against unlawful discrimination.

An employer is legally obliged to provide a new employee with a written statement of particulars on or before their first day of work. This legal document outlines the employee’s basic terms and conditions of employment.

This written statement is not contractual unless a signed copy is returned to the employer.

Employee contracts are complex, and having the support of an HR professional is recommended.

In addition to a contract, as an employer, you may also consider the following for a new employee:

  • An induction,
  • Employee handbook,
  • Uniform, if applicable,
  • Equipment needed to complete the job at hand.

HR Outsourcing

HR outsourcing is an alternative to having an in-house team. For many businesses, this is a more cost-effective approach.

Outsourcing your HR before any issues arise is recommended, so ideally, at the point of taking on your first employee. It’s much easier to manage people issues proactively rather than reactively, so having the right contracts and documentation in place, drafted by a professional, is key.

However, many companies choose to outsource their HR when a problem arises that needs to be resolved, and many HR consultants will be more than happy to support you in this situation.

  • Save money on things such as hiring, training and employing an in-house HR team.
  • Save time for staff members away from HR tasks.
  • Improve expertise and compliance with ongoing support and advice to ensure complete compliance.
  • Reduce risk of payroll and compliance failures.
