It is a legal requirement that all employees are issued with written terms and conditions of employment when joining a new employer and in our experience, a large number of disputes and claims that can arise between employees and employers cam easily be prevented or resolved quickly where clear terms and conditions of employment are in place and where the company's human resources policies are properly and clearly documented and understood.

The Key to HR includes the essential documents and policies your company will need to employ people and manage them in line with current UK employment law.

The documents we provide include:

• A Staff Handbook containing essential policies covering: recruitment, holidays, flexible working, equal opportunities, drugs and alcohol, wellbeing, menopause, maternity (including adoption, paternity, parental and shared parental leave), home working, social media, harassment and bullying, performance improvement, absence management, grievance, whistleblowing, bribery, data protection, modern slavery, discipline, redundancy, right to work, religious and national holidays, cars, computers email and the Internet, appraisal and training and development.

• Standard Terms and Conditions of Employment templates and offer of employment letters for, directors, permanent employees, temporary employees, zero hours workers and contractors.

• Standard Form templates including: a new starter form, an occupational health questionnaire, a sickness self certification form, an exit interview questionnaire, an appraisal form, a Working Time Regulations opt-out form, a training agreement and an application form.

• Spreadsheets including a holiday and sickness tracker.

All of the Key to HR documents are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant.
