Employment problems in the work place can be lengthy, costly and divisive. Our specialist employment team provides free Employment Law advice all based on the ACAS code of practice aimed at employers. We have a proven reputation and background for negotiating the best possible resolution, as well as providing practical solutions in order to minimise the impact on your business and all based around the ACAS code of practice.

Absence Management

An employer is likely to deal with a worker’s unacceptable absence at some stage and dong so properly can ensure the working relationship remains healthy. It is inevitable that from time to time employees will fall ill, get injured and sometimes simply not feel like coming to work for any number of invalid or inappropriate reasons.

Disciplinary

Employees should be offered the opportunity to appeal against the outcome of the disciplinary hearing, this is according to the ACAS Code of practice, and the employer should inform the employee of their options. The appeal should be dealt with by a manager who has not been involved in the case.

Discrimination

The 2010 Equality Act is the most significant piece of equality legislation for many years. It makes it easier for employers to understand their responsibilities by simplifying and streamlining the law. It also sets a new standard for those who provide public services to treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Equality and Fairness

Grievances

Do you have an employee who has raised a grievance? Once a grievance or concern is brought to your attention, you have a duty to deal with this in the correct way, in line with the ACAS code of practice.

Harassment and Bullying

Bullying and harassment within the workplace can lead to increased levels of absence and high staff turnover as well as reduced productivity and staff morale. The effects are harmful to all concerned, expensive for your organisations and can also lead to possible discrimination claims at an employment tribunal.

HR Training

We understand the need to deliver cost-effective and tailored training, which will not only ensure that you meet your legal obligations but will also help to improve overall efficiencies.

Redundancies

Redundancies are always a difficult decision in any business. Whilst it can be possible to reduce staff by offering the option of voluntary redundancies, it’s not always as straight forward as it might seem to reduce your employee numbers.

Performance Management

No matter how good or skilled a worker is there is likely to come a time when that performance dips. It is understandable that from time to time employees can have a blip, but if that drop in the level of performance is long-term it will need to be addressed. Underperformance, or poor performance, is when an employee is not doing their job properly or is behaving in an unacceptable way.
