We will need to see copies of employment contracts, procedures, policies and a copy of your staff handbook where they exist.
If you are a retained client of THSP, you will already have in place the relevant policies and procedures, as well as training for line managers. If your organisation has followed our advice and kept these up to date, disciplinary, dismissal and redundancy procedures should be relatively straightforward.
To ensure you avoid tribunal claims and act within the bounds of employment law, it is important that you follow the procedures you have notified to your staff to the letter.
You must ask our advice (and follow that advice) regarding dismissal and redundancy to maintain the indemnity insurance cover.
If you have any questions or require any support throughout the process, our dedicated team of employment law consultants are always on hand, so just call us for any advice you need.
If your organisation has followed the advice of our employment law specialists, it is extremely unlikely that you will face employment tribunals brought by staff. However, our qualified team of employment law consultants is able to provide all necessary support to minimise the impact of a tribunal claim on your business.
One of our employment law team, along with a representative of your organisation, will undertake the following:
- An inspection of existing contracts, procedures and staff handbooks
- A discussion on the management structure and responsibilities for line management
- A close-out meeting with senior management of your organisation
- A full written report
No. We will work with you and your team to ensure you are taking all the appropriate steps to manage your employees fairly and within the law, minimising risks to your organisation. Ultimately however, in law, the responsibility of ensuring your organisation complies with employment law is that of the employer.
