Employing your first employee

When you’re setting up a business it can be all too easy to overlook the human resources requirements.

We understand that you want to get your business off the ground as quickly as possible. But getting things right from the word go can save you a lot of heartache in the future. All businesses even new, micro-businesses have to consider and comply with employment law which can be onerous when you’re concentrating on a myriad of other things. You’re setting off on a professional journey and it’s important that this applies to your employees too, you expect them to act professionally and treating them professionally goes a long way to achieving that.

We can help to take this worry away and let you get on with the reason you really set the business up. We provide a simple starter pack for micro-businesses that ensure you start off on the right foot and minimises future risks. This includes:

  • Job offer documentation – including offer letter, new starter form, permission to seek references, medical declaration form
  • Starter suite of employment policies – including equal opportunities, disciplinary, grievance, data protection, GDPR, family-friendly
