Employment Law - Be Prepared

As an employer you will no doubt find employment law and all of the complications that go with it a complete nightmare that you could do without! As not every business has the luxury of an in-house lawyer (and even professional personnel managers can have difficulty in keeping tabs on the bewildering flow of UK laws, EU regulations or Tribunal/Court decisions) the job of maintaining good employee relations often falls on the employer who has plenty of other pressing concerns. Unfortunately, the full complexity of employment law only comes home when relations break down and sizeable cash penalties often follow.

A solution? Employmentor™


Employmentor™ - What is it?

EMPLOYMENTOR is a cost effective service providing a uniquely practical management tool to enable employers to put in place, and maintain, up to date systems for recruiting and managing employees and complying with their legal requirements. EMPLOYMENTOR allows you to have online access (at www.employmentor.co.uk) to all of the legal resources (including templates, precedents, flowcharts, model letters, forms, procedures and guidance) that you will ever need, which you can then copy and use when required. Every stage of recruitment, hiring and managing (including dismissal) is covered and regularly updated; ensuring that as an employer you have the latest advice on how to make employment law work for, not against, your business.

It has proved so popular that the 2007 edition of Legal 500 has praised Leathes Prior for Employmentor’s "invaluable employee management service which is growing impressively".


What does it contain?

Employmentor provides practical guidance, flowcharts, model letters, forms and procedures for you to copy and use and covers every stage of recruitment, hiring and managing (including dismissal).

    Help is at hand

    Employmentor™ is not just a website. Whilst we believe that in most cases the website will contain the information your business needs to deal effectively with each situation as it arises, we recognise that there will always be unique situations where you require further advice. Or perhaps the website has provided you with advice, but you are just not sure. Or perhaps you simply can not find the information you require. Do not worry!

    The EMPLOYMENTOR website is supported by a telephone and email helpline staffed by qualified employment lawyers. As a subscriber to EMPLOYMENTOR you would have unlimited access to this helpline which you can use as regularly as you need to, without fear of incurring any additional costs! This will provide you with complete confidence to take the correct action at all times.


    What does it cost?

    It is extremely cost effective to use Employmentor™ as a tool to aid in the smooth running of your business and feedback from our current subscribers shows that the service pays for itself time and time again. The cost of the service depends upon the number of employees that you have.
    Please contact Dan Chapman on 01603 610911 for a quote or for any specific questions regarding the service that you may have.
