Personnel/Employment Law
Guiding you through the maze of employment legislation
In today's commercial environment running a business is hard enough without having to deal with the onslaught of employment legislation and government red tape. Moreover, whilst employers find it increasingly difficult to understand and meet their obligations, employees are increasingly aware of their rights.
ELAS's unique range of personnel services has been designed to redress the balance by providing employers with access to a wealth of expertise, from personnel documentation to Tribunal representation, as well as a 24-hour telephone advice service.
A critique/Re-drafting of Contracts/Terms and Conditions
If disputes arise, the decision making process in disputes will begin with the contract of employment. It is therefore vital that these are as up to date as possible to avoid any unwitting breaches.
Documentation
We will produce a set of documents for you - to cover requirements from the person specification form right through to the exit form. These will form the framework of a simple but effective personnel system.
24 Hour Telephone Advice Service
You will have unlimited access to comprehensive advice 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our consultants are drawn from a variety of employment backgrounds and will offer you straightforward and practical advice to ensure that the action you take is correct - thereby limiting the risk of damage to your company.
Employment Law Updates
As new legislation is passed we will ensure you are kept up to date by providing you with regular newsletters and 'emergency bulletins'. These are produced in an easy to understand format so that you remain well informed throughout your contract with us.
Employment Tribunals
Handling a Tribunal claim can be both stressful and time-consuming. In the event that a claim is made against your company, your case will be handled from start to finish by one of our in-house legal experts. From preparation right through to actual representation, you can rest assured that we will cover all associated costs, whilst at the same time equipping you with the best defense possible.
Employment Awards
Defending an employment Tribunal can be costly enough, but having to cover potential compensatory awards as well, can be devastating. That's why our advice is fully supported by a comprehensive indemnity, which is underwritten by a major insurance company. In the unlikely event we were to lose at Tribunal, ELAS guarantee to cover compensatory awards - up to £100,000 per case and up to £1,000,000 in any one year
Employersafe Intelligent Personnel Software
