Introduction
Risks When Employing Staff
Accepting that staff
are the most important asset of any business, it is also true
that employing staff can be a complicated and risky business for the uninitiated. A minor infringement
of an employees statutory rights can cost a business thousands of pounds in compensation at an
Employment Tribunal.
The maximum compensation for standard unfair dismissal is about £52,100. It
would not take too many awards like this to put some smaller companies out of business.
The Value of Having Personnel Policies and Procedures?
Employers can protect themselves against the above risks by putting in place simple,
practical, personnel policies and procedures. Getting the basic right is the key
to success.
For example, every new employee
MUST by law be given written
details about their terms and conditions of
employment, and if this is done properly,
it can save an employer considerable heartache later on.
Personnel Pack
Our Personnel Pack is specially designed to
give smaller businesses the statutory
information that an employer MUST issue to
every new member of staff. The Pack also contains key documents and forms that are ideal for
setting up a basic staff record keeping
system.
Bespoke Services
The Personnel Department can offer employers a bespoke service
that will not
break the bank.
Companies differ in management
style, structure, culture and business needs. The "one size fits
all" philosophy does not work. What suits one will not suit
another. We recognize this, which is why, when we draw up contracts of employment, personnel policies or procedures,
etc., we do so in close consultation with the employer, to ensure that the
operational and commercial needs of the business are properly catered for.
Let The Personnel
Department handle your personnel and employment law problems while you get with the real job of running a
profitable business.
