Contracts, Handbooks and Policies
Your business is growing and following on from the recruitment process you have just offered someone a job, how exciting! Now what? Did you know that if you don’t have the correct contract in place for that employee by the time they start work, you and your business are breaking the law?
A contract of employment sets out the expectations of the employer/employee relationship from the start, it helps you manage your employees and demonstrates professional conduct from the outset.
Company Handbooks and Policies build on the Contract and set out the “rules of engagement”. Employees can use a Company Handbook as a point of reference to remind themselves of the rules or look up the rules they are unclear on.
No two businesses are the same which is why all of our HR packages include a bespoke Employment Contract, Company Handbook and key policy documents that are right for you and your business. We really get to know your business and make sure that your HR paperwork represents your company values whilst being legally compliant. We also make sure we keep you abreast of any changes in legislation and assist in implementing changes so that you remain compliant with Employment Law.
Payroll & Pension Auto Enrolment & Other checks
Pay can be a highly emotive, having a payroll department that can process pay accurately and timely is paramount to employee motivation and engagement. A business also needs to ensure that they are complying with the complex legal obligations. Our payroll team would be more than happy to discuss any payroll challenges you may be facing.

Onboarding & Inductions
Getting your onboarding process right is essential for making sure that your new recruits are welcomed into your business, feel supported during their first few weeks and become productive members of your team quickly.
Inductions play a key part in that onboarding process. Inductions are an opportunity for businesses to welcome their new recruit, help them settle in and ensure they have the knowledge and support they need to perform their role. Inductions may well involve an office manager or line manager, a colleague or all three, even other employees.
- Do your new recruits know what their responsibilities are?
- Do they know what a typical day will look like?
- Do they know what to do if the fire bell rings or who to report absence to?
An effective induction is sure to have a positive impact on engagement, motivation and performance as well as reduce absenteeism and presenteeism. Good onboarding contributes to improved staff retention which reinforces the importance of getting this right.
Remember, it doesn’t stop there…..probation reviews followed by regular performance reviews are also key to and engaged, motivated and committed workforce.
