Human Resource Services for Smaller Businesses
Keeping up to date with employment legislation is a serious issue to most organisations. New and constantly changing regulations and constantly evolving case law has increased employer obligations and the rights of employees to pursue claims significantly in the past few years. Unfortunately, the process of employing people isn't getting any easier with legislation covering virtually every aspect of employment from recruitment to termination.
Smaller employers without the budget or resources necessary to employ their own personnel management or HR staff are disproportionately burdened by employment legislation - yet keeping legal and compliant is increasingly essential for employers that want to keep their business intact. Failure to comply with legislation can result in Employment Tribunal claims from potential, current as well as past employees and the cost of compensation is high - up to £58,400 for unfair dismissal and £ unlimited for proven discrimination claims; enough to dent your profits or even put some employers out of business.
Understanding the obligations, compliance with legislation and the development of HR policies is essential if employers are to avoid disputes and Tribunals. It also makes good business sense - over 201,514* employers learnt this lesson last year (*Employment tribunal claims 2005/06).
Small employers can choose from three inclusive annual service arrangements:
