Employment policies and procedures

Drafting and reviewing employment policies and procedures

Ensuring your business has a legally-compliant staff handbook, which includes all of your policies and procedures correctly mapped out and communicated to all your staff, enables you to usually deal with staff issues in-house without legal intervention.

Employment policies and procedures

Approach

Our employment and HR solicitors will work with you to ensure that your staff handbook complies with the latest legal requirements. They will carry out a full review of all of your policies and suggest any relevant amends that need to be made so that they protect you from your unique risks.

Once your handbook is updated, your solicitor will also advise you on the most appropriate methods of communicating the revised version to your staff and any recognised trade unions, to protect your business from potential tribunal claims.

If you do not already have a staff handbook and require assistance in implementing one, our online document bank contains numerous templates and policies to use as a starting point.

Our staff handbook and policy reviews have helped to reduce our clients’ internal HR issues, including grievances and tribunal claims, as well as improving the efficiencies of their recruitment processes.
