A Summer Offer That Means You Can Relax
All Year...
It’s a basic legal requirement to provide a
statement setting out key terms of employment and to
update following changes!
Yet it surprises us just how often this simple
requirement can be overlooked. Take the risk at your
peril - a failure to comply could result in a
compensation award of up to 4 weeks gross pay for
any employee that complains – it costs less than
that to protect yourself for all your staff!
Staff Handbooks set out the rules, policies and
practices of the business which employees are
expected to follow, including bullying and
harassment, equal opportunities, discipline and
grievance and IT policies.
When defending any claim to an Employment Tribunal
the starting point is establishing that the
employees knew and understood the rules – a Staff
Handbook helps you achieve this. If you have
contracts of employment then have you kept them up
to date with the changes to employment law in the
last 12 months or expected imminently including:
»
Holidays and Sickness Absence
»
The ACAS Statutory Code of
Practice on Discipline and Grievance
»
Introduction of “Fit Notes”
»
Retirement Age
»
Maternity/Paternity Leave
Developments
»
Equality Act 2010 Impact
