Employment law advice
Feeling out of your depth and not sure what to do? Think you need to apply a legal process but it's confusing to know where to start? Let us guide you.
ALL HR issues have a variety of solution options. The earlier you contact us, the more options will be available to you. We will chat them through with you and make a decision, depending on what you want the outcome to be for your business. We're here to give you peace of mind as well as ensure that you are equipped to execute the best decision for you.
Contracts of Employment
Whether you're new to employing staff or have been an employer for several years, we're here to make sure all your staff have a contract of employment that is legally compliant and matched to your business needs.
It might be that you have very low staff turnover and your employment contracts have been in place for years. When were they last reviewed - a year or two ago, maybe longer. Can you remember?! Are you confident that they are up to date and in line with current employment legislation? For that peace of mind, we'll carry out an audit on all your contracts and let you know what risks the company may be running if they aren't up to date. Is it worth taking that risk?
Stand Alone Policies and Staff Handbooks
The handbook is issued alongside the Company's contract of employment. However, you might just want a few policies tailored to your business, maybe to cover you for any potential disciplinaries, grievances and misuse of social media. Particularly if you only employ a few people. Whatever the topic, we have a policy to protect your company!
​
If you would like a complete handbook, we can tailor that to your business and ensure you have every eventuality covered - which helps you sleep at night!

Get in touch and we can discuss the options in more detail.

​
Whether it's one person or a whole team that is affected, or a TUPE process that needs to be considered, we have the crew in place to keep your business legally compliant to make sure you don't get stranded in the minefield of legal requirements and left wondering which way to jump.

Training
​
It's a tricky climate for recruiting - and then keeping - good staff. Investing in training and developing your staff is a great way to show you value them and encourage their commitment to your business.
​
Are you thinking about taking on an apprentice or an intern? Do you know what government funded training and leadership courses are available to help your business grow and develop?
​
Do you have some new managers - or indeed established managers - who just need a bit of a refresher course in aspects of best practice when it comes to topics such as performance management? Or maybe they need an introduction into the do's and don'ts of approaching tricky conversations?
​
Do you have a training course you would like delivered but don't have time to do it yourself? No problem - we do that too!
Talk to one of our trainers today to see what type of training is best for your company.
Appeals
It isn't always practical - or possible - for a business to have another senior person in the company to refer an appeal to, whether it's in relation to a disciplinary, grievance or capability process. Ambridge HR can provide impartial, third party advice and conduct that appeal hearing on your behalf.
Reference Checking
You know it has to be done but (be honest!) have you got references for all your employees? Did you send the email to the person's referees, didn't hear back and just never quite found the time to follow up?
Let Ambridge HR take that admin chore off your hands. We'll send the emails AND do the follow up for you. Leaving you free to build your business.
Credit Reference Checks
Do you have staff in charge of the money, with access to bank accounts and sensitive information? That's enough to wake you up at 3am!
Let Ambridge HR set your mind at rest by carrying out Credit Reference Checks. It doesn't affect an individual's credit rating but it does give you peace of mind.
DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) Checks
Are some of your staff working with vulnerable people or in settings with children? Let Ambridge HR carry out all DBS checks for you so that you can confidently send your staff into those environments.
Insurance
As part of every one our services, all the advice given is covered by our indemnity insurance. All you need to do is abide by it!
