We understand that managing employees in the everchanging legal landscape can be overwhelming for Employers and HR managers alike. The importance of having compliant contracts and policy documents and undertaking fair processes is paramount. Mistakes can lead to employment tribunal disputes and uncapped compensation.
In March 2024, The Swinburne Maddison specialist team of employment solicitors launched smartHR, an insurance-backed HR retainer service.
SmartHR provides unlimited access to our team via phone and email, or in-person consultations for comprehensive advice.
We also prepare the key documents your business needs, including contracts and handbooks. For those businesses with HR documentation already in place, our team would conduct an audit at the outset of the retainer to ensure they are current and compliant.
Our advisory scope spans from day-today HR queries such as working time regulations, holidays, and family-friendly rights, to more complex issues such as restructuring, redundancy consultations, TUPE transactions and terminations.
Additionally, we can offer training workshops for your staff or managers on key areas including conducting grievance and disciplinary procedures, managing sickness absences, and equality and diversity.
Our complete service under our Premium smartHR package, which is backed by a legal expenses insurance product, protects your business in the event of employee disputes including the ACAS Early Conciliation process and employment tribunal claims. You can choose from a range of limits and excesses to suit your needs.
We understand that one size does not fit all so we created a choice of packages to complement businesses, from those with existing HR functions requiring minimal support, to those without a designated HR team that would benefit from our complete service.
