HR compliance at a fixed fee

As a business owner, it is important to be aware of statutory compliance, employment law and regulations and how it applies to your role. Broadly speaking, statutory compliance refers to the legal obligations and compliance responsibilities that an organisation must adhere to operate legally and prohibit discrimination.

When it comes to HR, this can include complying with legal obligations required for anti-discrimination laws, overtime requirements, equal pay, adhering to immigration laws, the Employment Act, ensuring Occupational Safety & Health standards are met, complying with Minimum wage regulations, and providing ongoing training for employees.

Our expert team of CIPD-qualified HR consultants and employment law solicitors can help you to stay up-to-date on statutory compliance issues and maintain regulatory compliance by putting systems in place to ensure fair payment, holiday allocation, fair recruitment policies, disciplinary measures and other entitlements to protect the organisation from potential legal vulnerabilities.

Policies that keep you compliant

Business owners, chief executives, and HR directors bear the ultimate legal responsibilities should they be found non-compliant with existing rules and regulations. In the event of legal proceedings, it is these individuals who will be held accountable.

As such, having a reliable outsourced HR team or consultants to help inform, advise and strategise with you to create policies that keep you compliant, can be incredibly valuable in getting everyone in the company involved in education, training, and providing feedback to make HR compliance becomes part of company culture, not just an obligation.

From the executive team to the managers to the staff, all levels of the business should be involved in the creation of HR compliant policies and processes, and all should be informed of them when they’re put in place and when they have to be relied on. This helps to ensure employees know what is expected of them with relevant policies and procedures documents.

The benefits of HR compliance

Adhering to HR compliance may seem like hard work but it has it’s benefits too. The main one being that you’re protecting your business from legal action. Non-compliance can be unlawful or illegal, leading to expensive employment tribunals.

For employers, compliance with employment laws and company policies helps to ensure a fair and legal workplace and meeting compliance obligations can help to avoid costly penalties from regulatory bodies.

For employees, compliance with age discrimination laws, for example, can help to ensure that they are not unfairly discriminated against in the workplace.

Additionally, knowing their employee classification (i.e. exempt or non-exempt) can help them to understand their rights and responsibilities at work. Finally, compliance with health administration regulations can help to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for all.
