Whether you employ 1 person or 1000, you are still required to comply with the majority of employment legislation – and it makes good business sense.

Good policies, procedures and training will give you and your managers the confidence and competence to handle a wide range of situations.

Employment Law changes very quickly and is constantly being updated. The cost of getting it wrong, in both employee relations and financial terms, has never been greater.

The steep and continuing increase in European and UK Employment Legislation makes access to good advice a business necessity.

• Unfair Dismissal claims have a length of service requirement of only 1 year
• The substantial increase in the Unfair Dismissal Compensation limit to almost £80,000
• Unlimited Compensation payments in Discrimination cases - including Age, Sex, Race, Disability, Religion or Belief, and Sexual Orientation
• Substantial increases in the number of Employment Tribunal claims being made
• The regular introduction of new legislation
