Modern employers are more aware now than ever of the necessity to comprehensively understand and comply with a multitude of continually evolving employment legislation.

They are reminded daily, by an intense media scrutiny of corporate litigation cases, that any potentially grey areas in their company’s policies and procedures can lead to costly losses of both money and reputation if they fall short on compliance.

Employers recognise that government legislation relating to employment issues serves a dual purpose of not only ensuring employer compliance, but also to protect employees against working in an environment which can be deemed in any way as prejudiced, unfair or unsafe.

External HR payroll companies offer a safety net of assurance and expertise to employers with the provision of advocate solicitors specialising in employment law who are accessible on a 24 hour a day help line. Employers in small medium or large sized companies can utilise this service as an alternative to the in house or retained solicitors who may be employed by more sizeable multinational firms.

For the employer, specialist solicitors can consult with them to ensure their understanding of salient issues like staff absence from work, appraisal and redundancy. From the employees’ perspective, the provision of clear and correct company policies, company handbook and a workplace that is compliant with health and safety regulations is a productive and worthwhile place to be.

At Moorepay, we offer this service to hand back to employers their time run their companies. Additionally, they have the advantage of our insurance cover when their actions are in compliance with our solicitor team’s advice.
