Our Services
Employment law and HR best practices can at best be complex, confusing and time consuming, especially when you have an intricate staffing issue to deal with – adhering to employment legislation so as to minimise your risk and ensure your staffing matters are dealt with in the right manner requires experience and technical knowledge, all of which our HR Consultants have in abundance.
We know that staff value it when their employer has their HR in order, despite the size of the company. So, when an employee is issued with their contract of employment on or before 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.

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.

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.
