Employment law, and its application, can be daunting, confusing and downright time-consuming, often getting in the way of the proper running of your business.
ELAS seeks to simplify the employment landscape with practical and purposeful advise so that you can get on with what you do best: managing your business. We recommend, support and implement strategic employment solutions tailored to your specific needs. This includes entire “employment lifecycle” services ranging from:
- Formulating Contracts of Employment including drafting intricate non-compete provisions (where and when appropriate policies and procedures in Employment Handbooks)
- Advice on handling disciplinary and grievances
- Long-term sickness issues
- Full range of disability discrimination issues
- Termination of employment and advice on settlement agreements
We also work with you on business protection advice - not only from litigious employees, but also from the risks posed by departing employees and their use of confidential information including drafting intricate non-compete provisions (where and when appropriate). It’s a cliché but happy, motivated employees are the bedrock of your business and getting employment law right is vital at all stages of the employment lifecycle.
Now the scary part! What is the potential cost and damage to your business if you do not follow the correct legal procedure? The awards listed below are the highest that organisations had to pay out in 2021/22 – they will be higher as at today’s date.
