Ensuring businesses stay on the right side of employment law

Many businesses across all sectors and sizes might balk at the suggestion that they are not operating in accordance with Government legislation. Both the business owners and the staff that they employ might be the most upstanding and law abiding citizens imaginable. With the best wills and intentions in the world, thousands upon thousands continue to find themselves in employment tribunal situations every year due to their lack of knowledge and understanding when it comes to employment law.

Employment legislation is a continuously evolving and complex thing, just like the people related issues within any workplace. It does not differentiate between SME companies who are doing their best to build their businesses professionally or large corporate organisations with sophisticated human resources departments and systems at their disposals. Should lightning strike and a current or past employee have grounds to instigate a claim against a business, limitless payouts are at stake. Business owners are often at losses about preventative measures they could and should have taken to avoid legal action.

Amidst a growing compensation culture, many businesses wisely opt to outsource their human resources functions on a partial or fully managed basis to the experts. They view this as a cost effective insurance policy. Small to medium sized businesses who have no official internal human resources representation often lack the know-how, resources and time to effectively carry our risk assessments on the employee side of their operations. These companies are often in danger of being the hardest hit when adverse situations arise and they cannot prove that clear guidelines and policies were in place to address grievances that subsequently occur.

At NorthgateArinso Employer Services, we offer expert countrywide human resources services, including health & safety advice. Our aim is to ensure that our clients’ operations are in line with current and new employment laws and that they remain there with the appliance of common sense measures.
