Employment Law

Employment Law

Just mentioning the words 'Employment Law' can make business owners shiver with fear……unfair dismissal, discrimination, breach of contract, employment tribunals, red tape and regulations, lawyers with huge charge-out rates and employees demonstrating an ever-increasing awareness of their rights as the UK develops an ever more litigious attitude.

For all businesses, employment law can hit where it hurts the most - the bottom line. Increasingly, too many employers are obtaining general and often misguiding information from the internet and placing misguided reliance on it only to find out they should have sought specific and professional advice.

Many businesses may be employing staff for the first time and lack the knowledge or experience to enable them to successfully negotiate round the employment minefield.

This means providing core compulsory employment documents like contracts and disciplinary/grievance procedures. It also means allowing for updates on alarmingly frequent law changes and backup when the business needs specific employment advice.

TaxAssist Accountants has implemented an employment law support service called Employmentor. Employmentor is a uniquely practical and extremely cost effective management tool, which enables any employer to put in place and maintain up-to-date systems for recruiting and managing their employees, whilst complying fully with their legal requirements.

Employmentor combines online access to an array of templates, precedents, model letters and general procedural guidance on each stage of the employment procedure at www.employmentor.co.uk, together with unlimited access to a telephone and email helpline staffed by qualified employment lawyers who benefit from their day to day experiences as active employment solicitors.

If you would like to find out more about this service then please speak with a TaxAssist Accountant today on 0845 0176961 or fill out our contact form.
