Employment law is one of the fastest changing areas of law. For employers this is an ongoing headache. Furthermore, employees are becoming evermore aware of their rights and are willing to exercise them. Tribunal awards are now at record levels.

At Martin-Kaye we are conscious of the burden employment legislation imposes upon business people these days. We are therefore keen to work with businesses to ensure that employee claims are avoided. In particular we provide the following as part of our service.

• An audit / legal health check on employee handbooks, contractual documentation, interview procedures etc.
• Annual review
• Dedicated team for dealing with claims
• Employment forum (HR and Employment Law in Practice – HELP) This is an ongoing series of presentations (see events) to which many clients now subscribe. Presentations provide the latest updates and cases and workshops providing practical solutions to problems
• Emergency 24 hour helpline – we recognise that despite the most careful planning emergencies do arise and it is part of our service to be available to deal with these situations
• In-house training for larger organisations (see business training)
