If you are an ambitious SME, looking to grow your business in 2023, then doing so without HR expertise will be challenging!

Q. Can I take Disciplinary Action against a pregnant employee?

The simple answer is yes – if they have done something that is in breach of a company policy or have behaved in a way that is inappropriate then you can take disciplinary action against a pregnant employee. No two cases are ever the same and there are potential risks when dealing with pregnant employees, such as their wellbeing and discrimination. Therefore, it’s worth seeking professional advice from an HR professional or an employment lawyer before taking any action. You need to make sure that you follow a fair disciplinary…

Q. How do I make someone redundant?

Q. How do we deal with annual leave that’s been carried over into this year?

Workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks’ statutory holiday each year = 28 days: 20 days holiday and 8 days of Bank Holidays.

Q. How do we deal with the extra Bank Holiday for the Coronation in May?

The additional bank holiday has been permitted by the UK Government, and under UK employment law, employers therefore do not have to grant the day as annual leave. It does not form an additional holiday entitlement to the 5.6 weeks’ annual leave awarded to employees under the Working Time Regulations 1998 The wording of employees’ contracts of employment will determine whether employers should allow staff to take an additional day off. Contracts which refer to the right to take “all public or bank holidays”, for example, may mean you have…

Q. We are really struggling to recruit, what can you do to help us find good staff, that stay?

It’s a very challenging recruitment market that we are in at the moment. With unemployment at a very low rate, and job vacancies at an all time high, there is a real shortage of candidates available, so its no wonder you are finding it difficult to recruit staff! Competition is tough and anyone looking for work is likely to be applying for other roles, so you need to stand out in the crowd of other job adverts/employers who are looking! We would suggest looking at your Employer Brand first of…
