Our Services
Employment law is becoming more and more complex and employers are expected to abide by these laws – not knowing is not an acceptable excuse when faced with an employment tribunal claim. Being an employer has real responsibilities in this area and so it is vital that you have your HR in order. This doesn’t mean that you have to know everything, but at the very least, have a trusted partner that you can call on to advise you.
​
We also know that staff value it when their employer does have their HR in order, despite the size of the company. So, when an employee is issued with their contract of employment by their first day of employment, when they start, they have an induction that includes being issued an employee handbook and when their terms change during the course of their employment, they receive a letter confirming the changes – all of these actions make an employee feel secure in their employment and confident in you as their employer, that you know about your responsibilities.
This is why we have designed our service packages to offer what they do – specialised and technical expertise that ensures you meet your obligations, supports and takes care of you.

In addition to the Retained HR Service, you can also engage us on a pay as you go basis for one off HR consultancy projects.

This service allows you the freedom to engage us for HR services when required, whilst still maintaining the highly specialised skills of our HR Consultants.
Documents
The HR related documentation you require for the numerous situations that arise out of being an employer is vast! There are many situations where you need to confirm what is happening in writing, whether that be a change to an employee’s terms and conditions of employment, a disciplinary outcome letter, contract of employment or confirmation that an employee is going on maternity or paternity leave – all of these types of situations should be confirmed in writing; that way there is no ambiguity, everyone knows the score and you as the employer, are covered.
​
alphr has an extensive suite of templates with letters and forms that cover most situations, our HR Consultants are all experienced in compiling documents such as these and if you have a situation where we don’t already have a specific template, we will compile it for you.
​
If you come on board as a retained client, then you have access to all of these documents as part of the service, but if you aren’t a retained client, that’s ok! We will of course be delighted to assist you in your documentation requirements, whatever they may be.
HR Portal
For our HR portal, we have worked directly with our partner for many years now and have found their system to have great functionality for not only the staff but for management who are also the administrators of the system.
The portal is a very intuitive cloud-based system and provides the following advantages:
-
One system to securely hold all employee information, removing the need for paper personnel files
-
Available on your desktop and laptop, but also via your tablet and mobile too
