Employment
We provide employment advice and support to Management Committee members, employees or managers with responsibility for staff management and personnel practice. Our service is free and confidential, and tailored to meet the needs of organisations and individuals. We work flexibly so that we provide support in a way that works for any organisation, large or small, whether well-established, or new and just starting out. You can access our help:
- Over the telephone or by email
- At one or more meetings at a time and place that suits you
- Via written HR briefings on policy and practice issues (click here)
Being a voluntary organisation ourselves, we understand the particular problems voluntary organisations can face. We welcome queries about any employment issue, and where we cannot help you we will signpost you to other services. Some of the areas we most commonly help with include:-
- Contracts of Employment
- Discipline
- Employment status
- Grievance
- Health and Safety
- Holidays
- Job evaluation
- Maternity
- Part-time workers
- Recruitment
- Redundancy
- Sickness
As well as our core Employment Service, we are leading on a new HR Support Project across seven Central London boroughs. This involves offering intensive support to small organisations to strengthen and improve their policies, procedures and practices in relation to HR. You can find out more about this project here.
