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

Around half of respondents to our Employee benefits research 2025 reported that they offer paid charity/volunteering days to their employees. A Volunteer leave policy can be a valuable way to give the workforce an opportunity to support a charity and donate their time and efforts, while still receiving their usual pay from their employer. According to our research, the median number of paid charity/volunteering days provided is two per year.
