Review existing contracts
Your employment documentation needs to comply with the law and HR best practice otherwise you leave yourself exposed to claims against you. We help you keep up to date with current law and best practice throughout.
Lets Talk
Employers have a legal duty to give employees and workers details of certain terms relating to their employment in writing no later than the start of employment. From the start of your BLHR agreement we will ensure your employment documentation, including any handbook and policies, are legally compliant and in line with best practice.
If we suggest any changes you want to implement we will provide template documents for you to use and will support you through introducing any changes to your existing workforce.
Throughout your agreement with BLHR we will monitor any new legislation and case law and suggest to you updates to your contracts.
HR & employment law advice
We provide you with advice, support and guidance for your employee challenges; your BLHR team can help with a grievance or a disciplinary matter, a concern about capability or an absence, a query about rights to time off or a business restructure and much more.
Let's talkThe specialists in your BLHR team take the time to get to know you and work alongside your organisation and team. As we know your approach, our advice is fast, pragmatic and tailored. You can contact us as much as you need by telephone, email or videoconference.

Our recent ‘Managing Misconduct’ training session was a huge success, I have never had so much positive feedback from a training course! Being able to watch different scenarios being played out really helped our managers understand the topic and how it affects their roles and responsibilities.
