Falling foul of employment legislation can be costly, as we describe in the Employment Law column each month. Now one company is offering a solution in the form of a new Virtual HR service.
The cost examples include the fine for not providing anyone with a contract of employment within eight weeks of his or her first day being up to four weeks of the individual’s salary. With such regulations, specialist expertise is essential for Small Medium Enterprises (SME) to ensure they are operating in accordance with legal requirements and to protect both themselves and their employees against litigation. For the cost of just two hours legal advice, Kelly Services can take the headache out of Human Resource compliance with its new Virtual HR service.
For many SMEs navigating the minefield that is Human Resource legislation can be a painful process and is often something that does not warrant a dedicated member of staff. For many organisations of this size, the management of HR issues tends to become an additional burden for the busy office manager. Designed to deliver a simple, cost effective solution to employee relations compliance, Virtual HR from Kelly Services offers a three-tier service, which enables businesses to ensure they meet all facets of current employee relations legislation.
Available from local branches of Kelly Services, Virtual HR can manage as little or as much of the HR policy as required, from the production of new starter contracts to the development of comprehensive policy documents and processes for all employment issues from sickness, flexible working and maternity leave to security and health and safety regulations.
Philip Ashton, HR Director for Kelly Services says, “For SMEs HR compliance can be unknown territory. Yet it is these types of organisations that would suffer the most financially if they were to be taken to court by a disgruntled ex-employee, for example. Our Virtual HR service delivers affordable HR compliance for businesses, taking the complexity and time out of managing HR processes and procedures.”
