In any successful business the employment relationship will be underpinned by the framework of employment law. There is a great deal of legislation which employers must comply with and, as this is a dynamic field, it is essential to be fully conversant with the latest developments. Yet, as a business, how do you know just how to comply with requirements which may be quite complex? What are the essentials and what are the “nice to haves”?
HRknowhow can work with you to ensure that you are complying with all current employment legislation; not simply to stay the right side of the law but also to promote a positive employment relationship. This can be done by considering what would be best practice in your organisation and how any changes that are required are introduced efficiently, and communicated effectively, to your employees.
Even in a year where there are fewer changes to employment legislation, changes to case law and interpretations of the law require you to keep abreast of developments as they affect your organisation.
It may be that you have not had an opportunity to consider the impact of previous legislation on your business. For instance, The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations were introduced in October 2006. Commonly known as the Age Discrimination legislation, it has wide ranging implications for most employers. For example, you may need to review your recruitment documentation, starting with your application forms. If you offer service related benefits you may need to consider whether any of your benefits should be reviewed in the light of the new regulations and subsequent case law.
We can provide the professional support you may need to carry out these activities and to ensure that you are prepared for future developments in this important area.
A review of your current position in the form of a HR Audit could offer you the reassurance you require.
If you would like to discuss this option, or feel that you need some help to ensure that you are complying with current employment legislation, then give us a call.
