With the laws on employment law constantly evolving and changing no employer should be without access to a reliable. employment law source. At Grindeys, we provide employment law advice to many organisations from sole traders to small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s).

We can audit your employee documentation, policies and procedures to ensure you are compliant with current employment law. This will not only provide you and your staff with formalised guidelines to follow should an employee matter arise but also ensures you are in the best possible starting position should an employee wish to pursue a claim against you in an Employment Tribunal. We can:

• Advise on your recruitment process from advertising to letter of offer
• Negotiate and draft contracts of employment
• Prepare other employee documentation including service agreements, terms and conditions of employment, internet, telephone and information technology policies, mobile phone and company car policies
• Help ensure the correct policies and procedures, such as disciplinary and long term sickness, are in place and up-to-date
• Advise on equal opportunities legislation and what it means to your organisation

In the event that an Employment Tribunal does arise or you need to reduce staff numbers through redundancy or dismissal, we can:

• Ensure that proper procedures are followed through redundancy and dismissal so there is no course for redress after the event
• Prepare for and represent you at Employment Tribunal although we will always try to avoid a potentially expensive Employment Tribunal hearing where possible
• Prepare compromise agreements
