Help for Employers...

Personal Grievance

Employees have the right to operate in a safe workplace & be treated fairly and to raise a Personal Grievance if this doesn’t happen . Our team can guide you through the process and offer frank and clear advice.

Mediations

Despite all endeavours to solve employment problems directly between employer and employee, sometimes it just isn’t possible. That’s where we come in.

Restructuring & Redundancy

If your role is at risk of disestablishment or redundancy, it is important that you know where you stand and that you are being treated fairly and that your employer is acting in good faith.

Performance Management & PIP

Managing underperforming employees can be time-consuming, costly for your business and a risk to your reputation. It is important to have a well structure plan before starting the process.

Disciplinary Process

When there is a potential breach of policy or agreement by the employee, disciplinary action may be required, up to and including dismissal. Don’t let procedural mis-steps trip you up.

Investigations

A good investigation should be planned to understand the scope of the incident and the terms of reference defined at the outset, to guide the investigation. We can assist in providing discreet, cost effective and confidential workplace investigations.

Employment Agreements & Policy

Having robust employment agreements and employment policies clearly set out the expectations of both employer and employee. Let us make sure your agreements and policies are crystal clear.

90-Day Trial Periods

This sounds like a relatively straightforward sounding clause but with an inappropriate or incorrect application can cause a myriad of issues. Talk to us first and using a 90-day trial.

Health & Safety

Providing a safe workplace forms a cornerstone of the employer obligations under the Health & Safety at Work Act 2005. Let us take the headache out of Health & Safety for you.
