Employment Law & Employment Rights

I am offering support to some friends who are setting up a new business venture. Part of my role involves investigating and providing information on the employer – employee relationship. As this is not my niche I have been seeking advice from other friends and business contacts (all employers – mostly SME). To my surprise I probably know more than most of them BUT I don’t employ staff. This is crazy!!

Employment law and Employment Rights awareness is crucial. It is essential to know what your responsibilities are and to have awareness of issues such as working hours, pay & wages, redundancy, terms of employment, annual leave and sick leave etc?

Employment Law & Employment Rights

What are ths options available to SME’s

a) Take this on board yourself – A resource to provide some basic information is the NERA website. There are also numerous courses and training opportunities available.

b) Employ HR expert – As your business and staffing levels increase a HR resource is essential. People are your most valuable resource so people supports are essential.

c) Use the outsourced solution – Retain a HR consultancy as a support when required. I have been dealing with HR Outsourcing and find them quite good.

Personally option c) for me everytime as I find it heavy going.
