Whether you are a small, medium or large business you face a minefield in the form of increasingly onerous employment laws and health & safety legislation. Even unwitting breaches can result in crippling awards, fines or even criminal records, as well as the costs of contesting actions, which can be considerable even if you win.
Peninsula is the UK’s leading Employment Law and Health & Safety Consultancy, with over eighteen thousand clients. They provide a cost effective service in either or both areas, which enables our clients to negotiate the minefield. Their service is adapted to suit individual client needs, backed up by an indemnity.
Employment Law
New employment legislation, contractual requirements and case law precedents are being introduced frequently and employers are expected to implement them straight away. They can give your business a safer and more certain future by cutting through the mountains of bureaucracy and red tape.
They provide tailor made statements of main terms of employment i.e. contracts of employment. They write your company hand-book for employees and also provide updates for your documentation when changes in legislation demand. Personnel training can be included if required. All personnel stationery is provided within the consultancy agreement.
Tribunal Representation
Should you become involved in a Tribunal, which is often unavoidable in today’s climate they visit your premises, take statements and collate the facts, prepare the case, brief witnesses, undertake research and represent you at Tribunal.
Health & Safety at Work
Most businesses struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of paperwork and if you do not follow the law to the letter, the results can be quite devastating.
Their service provides you with all the documentation, advice and individual help to ensure your company is complying with H&S legislation. They visit you premises, carry out an audit and write a general H&S policy incorporating management and employees’ responsibilities along with emergency procedures.
Indemnity
They take out an indemnity insurance on your behalf, with an authorised insurer, which provides for two tiers of service. Firstly, the legal costs in defending Employment Tribunal proceedings or Health & Safety criminal prosecutions. Secondly compensation awarded at Employment Tribunals in cases of unfair dismissal arising out of conduct, capability and redundancy are funded, as are any appropriate settlements, if the advice guidelines are followed.
24 Hour Advice Service
You and any of your nominated staff could have access to their 24 Hour Advice Service. This would ideally involve managers, individuals with responsibility for personnel/payroll and anyone who has to deal with employees on a day-to-day basis, particularly those with responsibility for recruitment and discipline. You will always be able to speak directly to a Consultant to discuss any Employment Law/Health & Safety matter that requires attention.
