Constant updating of your software ensures continued compliance with UK law
With regular changes to
UK Employment Law, and EC courts overuling UK law, you may find it almost impossible to know what
your rights are, as an employer. HR-professional will ensure you can always act decisively and remain within the law.
For example; do you know what your rights, as an employer, are when an employee is on long-term sick leave? How can you dismiss an employee, within the law, and without fear of a tribunal claim? The main consideration in these, as in all employment matters, is that you know the employees rights but also that you know the procedure to follow to arrive at the preferred outcome.
Failure to adhere to current employment law or ACAS
Approved Codes Of Practice can mean employees are able to bring claims against you at Tribunal. If your employment procedures do not comply with current legislation you can be accused of "unfair" dismissal and an Employment Tribunal can award your employee compensation running into thousand of pounds.
An employee can even take you to an Employment Tribunal while they continue to work for you.
Compensation Awards for breaches of Employment Law can be up to £72,300 for Unfair Dismissal, whilst some claims (such as for Discrimination) can attract unlimited compensation. Employees with only a day's service can bring a claim against you.
Failure to comply with Health & Safety legislation can have severe consequences for business managers. Enforcement action, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment, can be taken against employers who breach current legislation. Correct documentation will help protect your business against such action and help defend claims for compensation.
We continually monitor changes in current legislation and best practice and make appropriate changes to HR-professional software to assist you in staying legally-compliant. Updates are automatic and free for 12 months from date of purchase.
