What to do if you are worried that you are not being a legally compliant employer

A business contacted us recently to say “I attended an Employment Law seminar online the other day, and I’m now worried that we are not a compliant employer! What can I do to make sure we are doing what we should be?” First thing is not to panic! Many of these online seminars are in essence a sales opportunity and will play on “fear tactics.” I’m not denying that there are a lot of responsibilities if you are an employer, but you have to get these into perspective! The best…

Do we need an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy as this is all I seem to hear about these days?

In short, yes, its probably a very good idea to have one, although its not a legal requirement to have one. We all know how hard it is to find good people at the moment, and being able to demonstrate that you have an EDI policy, could be one thing that your future employees are looking for, the fact that you are looking to have a diverse workforce will be appealing to many prospective employees. It’s important that your actions and internal processes also match what your EDI policy says…

Employment law

I’ve heard that there are some changes to the right to work checks that came into force on the 1st October – what does that mean we need to do?

A recent survey conducted by Xydus, found that almost half (48 per cent) of businesses are unprepared for the upcoming changes to right to work checks, so here’s how you can get ready for the changes coming into force on the 1st October. The survey also found that more than three-quarters (78 per cent) did not know they could face imprisonment if non-compliant with the new checks – so be warned! The changes, which will be implemented on 1 October, mean that, if you are continuing to carrying out digital…

With the cost-of-living crisis – should we be giving people a salary increase?

Many clients have contacted us with this question in the last month, and there really is no right or wrong answer to this question, it really depends on whether your business can afford to or not! If you have the cashflow to do so, you may want to consider a “one off” payment as a lump sum, or an uplift in salary for an agreed period of time. What’s important is that this is clearly communicated as a one off, or gesture of goodwill, so that it is not considered…

How to manage the extra bank holidays given for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and the coronation

Following the announcement of an additional UK bank holiday for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on Monday 19 September, many of our clients contacted us about what to do, and with another Bank Holiday potentially on the horizon for the Coronation, here’s some of the things to consider in your business. It’s likely that the Coronation of King Charles will also create an additional Bank holiday, so we thought we would set out what to do if we have another Bank Holiday either this year or next year, when the…

Do you dread having appraisals or reviews with your team?

Call them what you want to, many managers dread “appraisal season!” Do you want to look forward to having reviews with your team? Whether you call them reviews/appraisals/PDR’s, many managers dread having to sit with each of their team to have the dreaded “appraisal” meeting, and that’s often because they forget that this meeting should just be about having a good conversation! Many managers are under a great deal of pressure and don’t have the time to prepare for these meetings or may not be confident in giving their team…
