Which area of law causes the most sleepless nights? Which aspect of law is the most vexing?
Well, ask any employer and the chances are that they’d tell you it’s employment law.
It’s odd when you think about it because on the face of it it should be simple enough – after all, all it is is an agreement to employ a person to act on your behalf and work for your company. Never the less, it can potentially become a nightmare. For many businesses employment law can understandably be incomprehensible, troublesome and extremely complex: after all it’s in a constant state of flux and can appear, to anyone not closely involved in the area, to change from month to month.
Legislative changes don’t help matters either: they have the potential to completely transform the framework in which employers operate, and that can often mean that minor omissions or breaches of these rules can result in major consequences. That’s why employers need the help and expertise of employment law specialists like Harold Stock & Co. That’s why our employment law specialists are here to help your business, leaving you free to get on with doing what you do best.
Harold Stock understands these problems, and aims to provide specialist employment law advice for employers.
Our team of qualified solicitors take a proactive, hands-on approach in providing commercial and practical solutions to all employment issues. Ideally our aim is to encourage our clients to consult us before problems or claims arise, as obtaining prompt legal advice will often safeguard against the risk of expensive claims being brought against your business. We also endeavour to ensure that your business has clear, concise and updated policies and procedures, to assist in both reducing the risk of facing employment claims, and promoting good employment relations.
Employees are an invaluable asset for any enterprise and are crucial to the future direction and success of the business. However, it’s inevitable that from time to time certain disputes will arise between the employer and employee, often over relatively minor, innocuous issues that could’ve been prevented. Harold Stock & Co can help your business by ensuring these issues don’t arise.
Our solicitors will draw up clear and comprehensive contracts of employment that outline the standards you expect from each of your employees. We can also help your business to construct policies and procedures to help meet the needs of your business, which set out in clear unambiguous terms the roles, duties and responsibilities of both current and future employees.
