One of the key pieces of HR paperwork is the contract of employment which acts as a legally binding agreement between an employer and its employees. In the UK it is a legal requirement to issue terms and conditions to an employee from day one.
Furthermore, there are three HR policies every employer must have, regardless of company size: disciplinary policy, grievance policy and health and safety policy.
There are some other policies that although not mandatory, are seen as best practice for businesses. Typically these include equal opportunities, absence, flexible working, training, bullying and harassment, code of conduct, communication, drug and alcohol, data and privacy.
I also recommend having an employee handbook that acts as a guidebook for staff. The contents can vary from business to business, but generally include information about the company’s history, values, policies, expectations and culture.
As an experienced HR consultant, I view compliance as more than simply ticking boxes – it forms the backbone of a harmonious and successful business.
I help to remove the complexity from HR policies and procedures, so you can focus on your day-to-day business. I specialise in producing and reviewing contracts of employment, employee handbooks and all the other HR policies your business needs to operate smoothly and compliantly.
