Employees are legally entitled to a written statement of their main employment terms, and well-written employment contracts, staff handbooks, policies and procedures start the working relationship off in the right way. So choose the right HR consultancy to take your business forward.
We understand that managing employees is a complex business, and it can be tough to do this whilst managing your business goals. With our remote HR support service, you can receive advice on all HR-related issues, benefiting from our team’s wealth of professional HR knowledge and expertise.
To help support businesses and their managers, we have developed a management development programme consisting of a series of “How To…” workshops. These workshops provide the knowledge and skills to manage the typical day to day HR issues successfully,
The content and of each workshop will reflect the “real business world” and will tap into our many years of experience as “business focused” HR practitioners. The duration of the workshops will be 2 1⁄2 hours each. A brief description of each HR Workshop can be seen below.
Apprentices are usually employees who have been employed at reduced costs in order that they can be trained in a particular skill. As employees, apprentices will have the usual employment rights and their apprenticeship is usually for a fixed period of time; the period will depend on how long it will take to obtain the skills and qualifications they are training for. Generally apprentice contracts should only be terminated early for serious misconduct but will end automatically on the last date of the fixed term.
If some staff are late for work or fail to attend work because of severe weather, then an employer is under no obligation to pay them, unless there is a specific provision for such absence to be paid in their contract of employment.
