FAQs
We will be posting here soon some common questions we have been asked in the past about employment law, along with the answers, of course!
Some employment law scenarios
We can do everything from producing employee handbooks and tailored contracts of employment to protecting your position in an employment Tribunal. The tools are there to protect you and your employees; with our help a Tribunal can be the exception rather than the rule. Whether you are experiencing growth or scaling down we can ensure that your HR issues are hassle free. Think of us as an extension to your business, an external HR department.
Scenario 1
A local firm of electricians was awarded a large contract to work on a city centre regeneration project. To meet their expected workload they had to subcontract a large part of the initial phase. Having never subcontracted before they needed help in ensuring that responsibilities and liabilities were well defined. We would be able to produce a template for all their subcontracting requirements which spelt out who was responsible for insurance, site safety, risk assessments and so on.
Scenario 2
A Company needs representation in an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal. One of their employees could no longer physically carry out the heavy lifting that the position required. The Company should have been seen to have explored the possibility of finding the employee another role within the company. We would be able to broker a fair compromise negating the need for a tribunal. The company would also be able to make sure that all new employees have individually tailored contracts that we could produce for them.
