Full Profile : Year on year the introduction of new legislation in the areas of Employment and Health & Safety Law makes the life of an employer increasingly complicated. In fact it’s quite common for employers to be unaware of changes in the law or of implications of new legislation; they are, after all, trying to run a business. We help employers to understand and deal with their responsibilities, designing bespoke systems for their business and giving them the reassurance of knowing that there is a team of specialists supporting them every step of the way.

Underpinning all our advice is a legal expenses indemnity scheme. This provides protection against representation costs and compensation awards at all employment tribunals. With an ever increasing array of complaints to tribunal, and the levels of awards increasing every year, this is becoming the stuff of nightmares for employers everywhere. As well as the most cited complaint of unfair dismissal, we insure against the discrimination claims for race, sex, disability, religion or belief and dismissals in respect of Trade Union activities. To complement and support our services we have a dedicated team of advisors whose knowledge and expertise is available 24 hours a day, via our advice line.

Another challenge for employers is Health & Safety law. This is an area of the law that can have the most far-reaching ramifications for both individuals and companies. However, with all the other matters that company owners have to deal with, Health & Safety law is often pushed down the list of priorities when people are busy – which is not a wise approach.

The principals and practices for the successful management of Health & Safety are no different to those managing the core activities of a business: setting policies, organising, planning and implementing, and measuring and reviewing performance

The Corporate Manslaughter law from April 2008, meant that company directors face severe sentences for gross breaches of health and safety law. The new offences bill shortly to become law raised the bar again, with penalties going up from £5,000 per offence up to £20,000 per offence, and giving the lower courts powers to issue prison sentences for gross breaches.

As an employer, you have a legal duty to provide a safe workplace for your employees, so that you do not put their health at risk. This will involve ensuring that plant and machinery are safe. Raw materials and equipment are handled and stored safely. You must provide appropriate information, instruction and training and supervision to ensure safe working practices.

“The service we have received from Deminos has been superb. The attention to detail and understanding of our business has been impressive.

The Deminos team are very focussed, professional, friendly and knowledgeable and I would have no hesitation in recommending their service to any organisation.”

Mark, Recruitment Company


"After an initial consultation, Deminos sorted out our employment contracts and staff handbooks straight away.

On the odd occasion that I've needed to use the helpline I've found the advice to be practical and businesslike - these people understand how real businesses work.

Although I'm sure I won't need it, it's good to know that employment tribunals won't cost me a thing."

Simon, Design Company


"As we are just a small voluntary organisation appointing Deminos to prepare the necessary legally compliment documentation gives us peace of mind. We also have the assurance of their 24 hour advice service should any employment issues arise, as well as full legal representation should any disputes lead to an employment tribunal."

Kaye, Support Group


“After using Deminos for the first time to take us through the perils of employment contracts, handbooks and employee related issues, they made the complicated process very easy. There is always somebody on hand with all the information that you need, giving you the peace of mind that you need knowing that things are done properly, efficiently and compliantly”.

Paula, Mortgage Company

Full Profile : For most companies, the luxury of a HR dept is not a realistic possibility. With qualified HR Managers commanding salaries up to £35K, most businesses go without. However, without policies, procedures and resource to keep up to date with the massive amount of employment law released each year, your business is at risk. Employers are guilty until proven innocent and the smallest non compliant area of a business can be exploited, and all too often is. We work with employers to update written statements and employee handbooks regularly, installing a HR System that allows you to manage your staff from recruitment to leaving. 24 hour legal advice and a full personnel letter writing service is also part of our remit, all of which keeps you compliant. However, should you be called to a Tribunal, we place a Barrister in court for you at no extra cost. In addition to these services, 2 unique things make us stand out from the competition. 1. There are no Call Centres! You get a named HR Manager as a contact, whom you speak to every time you need help. In this way, they know your business and can advise you far better. 2. Our HR services are on a pay as you go basis, paid monthly via standing order, with no contracts whatsoever required. As long as your situation stays the same, you continue to pay. Should you however, need to walk away, you can cancel the standing order with no quibble from us. We cater for all businesses from 1 employee to 500 and look forward to hearing from you.
