The Care Team - Employment Law...
Failure to comply with employment laws can be very costly to a business, regardless of its size, with employment tribunals now able to award over £60,000 for unfair dismissal. In addition, employers are at risk of being penalised for failing to implement proper employment contracts and procedures, harassment at work, discrimination claims, working time claims, unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract.
As an employer you need to know that how you are managing your staff on a day-to-day basis is lawful and is not opening you up to claims. Smith Partnership has provided first class employment law advice for years, and through our innovative fixed fee annual care home subscription service, the best just got better.
Our care home service includes:
1 - Employment Guide For Care Homes - providing up to date information and guidance, together with template documents, covering each stage of the employment relationship.
2 - Employer Support Helpline - direct access to our team of specialist employment law solicitors. You can use our helpline as much as you wish to without fear of incurring additional costs.
3 - E-mail Updates - your subscription will also include regular e-mail updates on key employment law topics.
4 - Employment Law and HR Documents - depending on your needs, your subscription can include provision of contracts of employment, employee handbooks, and related employment policies and procedures.
We believe that through your subscription to our care home package you will be protecting your business from claims arising from poor employment practices. For complete peace of mind we can also introduce you to a leading insurance broker who can work with you to provide insurance cover for tribunal awards and litigation costs if required.
Our specialist employment lawyers provide advice to businesses of all sizes and have built up high levels of knowledge and experience.
We are committed to providing comprehensive, high quality, cost-effective employment law services. Whilst we are technical experts in employment law, we believe that it is our level-headed practical approach and responsiveness which form the cornerstone of our service.
In summary, our care home package provides the following main benefits to your business:
- comprehensive guidance
- electronic self-edit printable forms and template letters
- unlimited access to telephone and e-mail advice from qualified solicitors
- low cost fixed fee subscription, paid annually or by monthly installments
- up-to-date employment systems, e.g. contracts of employment, where required
- access to a leading insurance broker for protection against awards and costs arising from employment tribunal claims
We believe that a subscription to our care home package will pay for itself time and time again through avoidance of substantial unpredictable legal fees.
