If you employ staff in North Baddesley or Moorgreen, it can be hard to know whether you have done everything you need to from a legal and HR perspective. You might have contracts, but are they up to date; you might have some policies, but are they actually compliant; you might store personal data, but is it properly protected.
A simple compliance checklist, supported by a small business membership, makes it much easier to keep everything under control.
Core areas every small employer should review
- Employment contracts
- Are they in writing for every employee
- Do they reflect current roles, pay and hours
- Do they cover confidentiality, holidays and notice
- HR policies and procedures
- Do you have a basic handbook or policy pack
- Are disciplinary and grievance processes clearly set out
- Is there a clear approach to absence, lateness and flexible working
- GDPR and data protection
- Do you have a privacy notice for staff and customers
- Is sensitive information stored securely
- Do you only keep records for as long as you genuinely need them
- Health and safety
- Is there a written policy if you employ five or more people
- Have you completed simple risk assessments
- Do staff know what to do in the event of an accident or fire
Working through these questions with the support of expert advisers and ready-made templates makes the process much less intimidating.
