Employment Health Check
We keep you up to date with employment law
Employment law changes quickly and it is a challenge to keep up to date. We can help by carrying out a thorough check of your employment law contracts, policies and procedures.
After conducting an employment health check, we then provide you with a succinct set of recommendations using a red, amber, green traffic light system which assesses steps you need to take on the basis of whether they are mandatory, advisable or optional.

How an employment health check can benefit your business
Compliance with employment law
In the UK, changes to employment law are relatively frequent. Unless you respond accordingly, you could be at risk of non-compliance. Our employment health check service is designed to support companies to update their employment law practices. This includes employment policies and procedures and employment contracts.
Reduce the likelihood of disputes
When you have carefully drafted employment policies and procedures in place, you will reduce the likelihood of disputes. Vague or poorly drafted employment procedures leave room for debate and misinterpretation.
Our employment law solicitors have worked on many employment disputes cases, putting us in the best position to assess where potential problems might arise. We support clients to make the necessary corrections to their employment documents, helping to prevent disagreements and legal setbacks.
Improve employment policies
Our employment law solicitors can assist businesses to review their employment policies and update these if required. With transparent employment procedures in place, all parties can apprehend their responsibilities and know what is expected of them.
We support clients to improve and update a full range of employment policies, including:
- Disciplinary and grievances policies
- Social media and data protection policies
- Diversity and equal opportunities policies
- Absence and sickness policies
- Whistleblowing policies
