Redundancy And TUPE

An increasing number of employers are having to deal with employee redundancy, business transfers or service provision changes. If you’re amongst them, it’s essential that you act within strict Government guidelines – or you could leave yourself open to unfair dismissal claims in an employment tribunal.

We’re here to provide specialist employer advice on making employees redundant, dealing with business transfers, or changes to service provisions within your business.

Let us manage your redundancy or TUPE process for you and we’ll make sure that all the correct steps are followed, reducing stress for you and your employees along the way.

Disciplinary and Grievance

Disciplinary and grievance procedures are frameworks that provide clear and transparent structures for dealing with difficulties that may arise as part of the working relationship – From either the employer’s or employee’s perspective.

These procedures help to ensure that everybody is treated in the same way in similar circumstances, and that all issues are dealt with fairly and reasonably. They will also ensure that you, as the employer, are compliant with current legislation and follow the relevant Acas Code of Practice.

We are here to support you with developing a disciplinary or grievance procedure, or to provide advice and support when managing an employee disciplinary or grievance case.

Change Management

All organisations are changing their focus, expanding or contracting their activities and rethinking their products and services. Most companies more than ten years old look nothing like they did even five years ago, and it is likely that in the next year or two businesses will not look like they do today.

In this context, managers have to be able to introduce and manage change to ensure the organisational objectives of change are met, and that they gain the commitment of their people, both during and after implementation. Often, at the same time, they also have to ensure that business continues as usual.

Change management matters, because although change is taking place at an ever-increasing pace, there is evidence that suggests that most change initiatives fail.

The impact of failures to introduce effective change can also be high: loss of market position, removal of senior management, loss of stakeholder credibility, loss of key employees, and reduction in engagement.

Many things cause organisational change. These include:

Contracts and Employee Handbooks:

An employer must give employees a ‘written statement of employment particulars’ if their employment contract lasts one month or more. All businesses with employees should have up to date Employment Contracts in place and an Employee Handbook.

An understandable, readily accessible set of policies helps ensure that employees are treated fairly and equally. Formally writing down your business’s policies and procedures and providing clear guidelines means you will spend less time answering questions and explaining the basic rules of your company. It is important as an employer that you let employees know what is expected of them in terms of standards of performance or conduct, and reward them for achieving these. Most importantly, you will also lessen your chances of ending up in an employment tribunal.

We can review your existing contracts, policies and procedures to ensure they are up to date with current legislation requirements.

We can also tailor our templated frameworks and policies to suit and protect your business.
