Model policies and procedures to help you create and maintain legally compliant documentation for your organisation.

Without the use of HR & Compliance Centre, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week

In our recent webinar, we explained that under the Employment Rights Bill, collective consultation requirements will be triggered if redundancies reach the defined threshold of 20 or more employees within 90 days across the entire business, rather than each individual site or workplace. If these changes are implemented, it will expand the situations where collective consultation is required for businesses with multiple sites. This could include proposed redundancies that have no connection to one another. To adapt to these potential changes, it will be necessary to update any relevant Redundancy policy. If your business operates from multiple sites, it's a good idea to start planning ahead by evaluating your current practices. Take a good look at how your internal communications between different sites are working and consider whether they need some strengthening. Additionally, it's recommended to conduct an audit of the way you review the triggers for collective consultation.
