CompliantCare

Our CompliantCare Service includes:

HR compliance review: We believe the days of sending out large binders of standard policies for clients to implement are long gone. We first work with you to develop policies, contracts, etc that are both compliant and relevant for your organisation. Your latest policies will then be made available online so there is no more wondering if you are using the latest version.

We guide you on the implementation of your policies and will alert you throughout the year of any changes in employment law. Once a year we will review your documents to ensure you stay compliant.

Advice-line: Many employment problems start off small. Therefore, we encourage you to raise any HR question with our MCIPD-qualified HR Advisors. From their wide experience and knowledge they will provide you with clear, practical advice which will be confirmed by email, so you are always clear about the recommended actions.
Website: even more knowledge, guidance and support is available from what is the most comprehensive, interactive HR website available in the UK. You will also find it contains customisable letters and template forms that save you time and help you follow the law and best practice.

Our combination of innovative technology and high quality staff can reduce your HR workload, remove the risk of employee litigation and save you money, especially if you are currently using costly solicitors.

Call us on 0845 355 0877 or contact us to find out more.

By adding insurance, you can further reduce the risk of facing the large, unexpected costs of an Employment Tribunal claim. Our partner brokers, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, will obtain cover for you from a major insurance company.

  • advice-line, which enables you to directly contact one of our HR Advisors who are all MCIPD qualified, have extensive experience across several sectors and have passed a rigorous selection process.
    Whether by phone or email, we will provide you with clear, practical guidance to help you solve your HR problem; we do not just quote the law. All advice is confirmed by email so that you are always clear about the recommended action and we keep a full record of all your enquiries.

HR Compliance Review

Designed to free up the time of your HR staff, our HR Compliance Service ensures all your HR documents are legally compliant and stay that way. Some examples of our work are:

Leading Law Firm Professional Body Technology Company
Growth resulted in this firm's HR policies becoming cumbersome and unclear. We gave them a clear set of robust policies that were easy to implement. The HR function did not have the time to conduct a review. We provided them with updated, compliant policies without impacting the team's work. This UK subsidiary had limited HR resources. We reviewed their HR documentation, freeing up the HR team to support the business.

Our HR Advisors work closely with you to ensure your policies, contracts and handbook are legally compliant and meet the needs and culture of your organisation. The final agreed documents are always available online so that you can be certain you are using the latest version.

Should a major change in your documents be required due to new legislation, tribunal decisions, etc we will alert you. Your advisor will mark up any proposed changes to your documents for you to consider and will visit you to discuss any proposed changes and upcoming legislation which may impact your organisation.

Your important HR documentation will be maintained up-to-date and compliant, leaving your HR team more time to support the business.

Call us on 0845 355 0877 or contact us today to discuss how we can free up your time.

Our website offers.....
  • A large collection of documents for you to use:
    • a highly customisable employee handbook to issue to all of your staff
    • a wide range of contracts of employment (some are only available to our premium customers)
    • more than 50 customisable policies that you can tailor and issue to your staff
    • at least 60 guides on management topics, legal overviews plus step by step guides to specific topics such as recruitment, induction and redundancy
    • over 70 forms to print off and give to your staff
    • a huge range of customisable letters to send to your staff
    • at least 25 guides to general health and safety issues.
  • Customised documents are generated as PDFs, with a blank area at the top so that they can be printed on headed paper. If you send us a logo of the appropriate size, this will automatically be inserted into your contracts of employment, policies and handbook.
     
  • Additional document formats are available if you have our premium service. This incorporates:
    • document generation in HTML, as well as PDF format. This is useful if you want to put your company policies on your company intranet, or if you want to modify them in a word-processor.
    • an easy-to-use but technically advanced policy template tool which gives you the ability to store your own policy templates. The template tool, which is not available using our standard service, makes the process of implementing, reviewing and updating policies even quicker and more effective.
    • a range of specialist contracts and documents not available with our standard service such as an apprentice contract, an associate agreement and a non-executive director's agreement.
  • You can find a document in various ways:
    1. by going to the topic pages shown in the left hand navigation bar. This allows you to approach the site from an activity point of view.
    2. by using the short cuts to find documents by document type, ie all policies are grouped together
    3. by using the site map
    4. by going to the A to Z listing
    5. by searching for documents using the search control.
       
  • Archive copies of the newsletters (going back to 2001) are also available to you. These can often be useful if you are looking for information on interesting cases you have read about in previous issues. The newsletter page shows which main topics are covered in which newsletter, with a link enabling you to get to the chosen topic directly.
Own use: If you are an HR consultant, please bear in mind for the future the 'fair use' paragraph in the terms and conditions section of our web site. If you wish to be able to offer the site to your clients as part of your total service range please contact us to discuss a suitable arrangement.
Frequently answered questions
How do I create a document?
Documents are simple to create as they are already formatted for you - so you don't need to be an expert in word processing! You simply enter the factual information into the text boxes on the templates as prompted, tick the boxes where there is optional text which you want to include (and overtype to suit if necessary), and then create and download your document. If you are logged in, your name and job title will automatically appear for you. The template letters prompt you to include information which will ensure that you comply with any statutory procedures; the template policies automatically include this for you.

The final document is in a pdf format (so ready to print off immediately), and letters are set out in such a way that they should fit easily onto most headed notepaper.

To what extent can I tailor a policy to reflect my business?
This depends on the policy! Where there are statutory procedures and guidelines, the minimum requirements will be automatically inserted into the policy for you; where the policy is an entirely optional one, we present this in text boxes with suggested wording which you can overtype to suit your business needs. All job titles etc are fully customisable so that they refer to people who actually exist within your business.
Can I add my own logo to the handbook and policies?
Yes - simply send us your logo in a GIF, JPG or PNG format, and we will store this on our server for you - this will then automatically appear on any contract, handbook or policy you prepare. The logo needs to be less than 700 pixels wide, and using a GIF or PNG will provide a better quality.
Do I need any particular software on my computer?
You will need Adobe acrobat to download the documents - this is available free of charge and we give you the appropriate link to download this.
What if something goes wrong with downloading the document?
At the bottom of every webpage there is a link to our webmaster - click on this to email us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Can I access the documents I recently downloaded?
Each document has an access period (which varies depending on the document or subscription purchased), so if you are still within this you can continue to download the document as many times as you need. We would advise you to save copies of the documents you download on your own systems however.
What do I do if my browser crashes?
If you were using a document template at the time, any information you typed into a document will not be saved unless you had already submitted your changes or downloaded the pdf.
What if I forget my password?
Simply go to the website and in the top LH corner under Login prompt you will see a link - "Lost your password?" Click on this, fill in your email address, and your password will be immediately emailed to you.
