Drafting and reviewing employment policies and procedures

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.

Experience

Our Employment team regularly advise multi-national companies, providing clarity on their contractual relationships with their employees, from entry-level through to directors. 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.

In addition to advising on staff handbooks, our employment lawyers are also highly experienced in supporting clients with the policy complexities of worker and self-employed employee statuses, further protecting organisations from tribunal claims being brought forward.
