HR and Legal

Managing Human Resources in the UK can have serious consequences if your company is not compliant with UK legislation or supportive of your company strategy. UK HR and employment law can be complex and is subject to subtle and not-so-subtle changes. This is because employment law develops through decisions made in Employment Tribunal cases as well as through Government policy. The UK’s decision to leave the European Union may result in significant changes to employment legislation. As well as ensuring that your company complies with legislation, it is important that all aspects of HR support your company in managing its most important resource – that of your people. HR policies and procedures set the tone of your business and can have a significant effect on employee attraction, engagement and retention. Paul Beare Limited works with you to ensure that your business is successfully established in all aspects, including those related to UK HR law.  Our comprehensive support services include support in the following areas:
