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
