ServicesWe cover all aspects of employment from recruitment to retirement: Disciplinary ProcessesDo you need help managing a disciplinary process? 50% of small & medium businesses are too afraid to discipline employees for fear of being sued. However, HSL can help make the process straight-forward by providing advice and support, reducing the risk of “getting it wrong”. DiscriminationDo you want to avoid discrimination issues? Employers are liable not just for any decision/action they make which is discriminatory but also for all such acts by their employees. The argument of “no discrimination/offence intended” is no defence. DismissalAre you worried about how to sack/dismiss an employee? Dismissing an employee is often stressful but it needn’t be costly. The law allows employee dismissals on many grounds often requiring no payment apart from notice (and in gross misconduct, not even that). First EmployeeAre you a sole trader and the fear of taking that first step (your first employee) is limiting your business expansion? Expanding your business by employing your first person can be daunting and many businesses delay taking this step for that reason. Don’t let fear inhibit your business growth. Hornet Solutions can guide you through what’s involved and your responsibilities. We can help you with the following: Performance ManagementAre some of your employees underperforming or “difficult”? 50% of small & medium businesses are too afraid to tackle difficult or underperforming employees and yet these employees can negatively impact on customer services, staff morale & turnover as well as company profits. RedundancyDo you need to make redundancies? Sometimes businesses need to make redundancies but if they don’t follow the right procedure they could find themselves facing claims for unfair dismissal or even discrimination. |
