If you don’t know or are not sure then maybe you need help from Duncan - HR.

The employment legislation is becoming increasingly complex and companies are unsure if they are in compliance with the laws or are they exposing their Company to financial risk and adverse publicity. Making a snap decision, saying something rash on the spur of the moment, giving a disciplinary warning or even a dismissal could have large financial repercussions if it is not carried out properly and following the current statutory procedures.

Companies need to have certain policies and procedures documented, used and be available to their employees. This not only meets the statutory requirements, but leads to a smooth and harmonious working environment.

Duncan HR can help you feel safe and secure in the knowledge that your Employment legislation obligations are being met.
