Managing Performance
There can be many challenges that come along with managing people, and these shouldn’t just be put off until the annual employee review. The demands of dealing with individual performance or ill-health can have a negative impact on your business, so it’s crucial to prepare early.
Grievances
Our resolutions are tailored to your needs and help you solve any issues swiftly and efficiently for a successful outcome. You can also hire an external HR consultant to help with these matters as needed or schedule training for your management team so that they can handle human resources needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Employment law governs what happens when workers and employers talk to each other. Employment legal advice focuses on a wide range of topics in all areas of the employer/employee relationship, including providing a contract of employment, policies, and procedures for the workplace; managing redundancy situations; disciplinary procedure, and more.
If a company dismisses an employee due to personal clashes, they need to prove that the employee’s presence was causing severe interference with their business and had made significant efforts to solve the problem before making a decision. If you’re an employer looking to do this, you should take legal advice first.
Yes, although you must exercise care and ensure that you follow procedures set down in your staff handbook because the procedure for conducting a dismissal is deemed to be as important as the reason in the Employment Tribunals.
Our employment legal advisors ensure you do not inadvertently provide the employee with a valid claim against you.
As an employer, it is important that employees have contracts of employment in writing, so as to protect your business.
If not, a verbal contract will exist and terms will be effectively created by reference to usual practice, custom, and implication. To prevent misunderstandings and disputes and to ensure the assets of your business are properly protected, we recommend a well-drafted written contract of employment signed by both parties is an absolute priority.
