Contracts and Employee Handbooks
If you’re hiring your first employee or have a small team, our Contract and Basic Employee Handbook package (£500) provides the essential HR documents to get you started with confidence.
We will draft a tailored, branded employment contract template for your business, fully compliant with current UK employment law and HR best practice. Your Basic Employee Handbook will also be customised with your branding and include the core HR policies and privacy notices you need to remain legally compliant and in line with ACAS guidelines.
For growing or larger businesses, we offer bespoke Employee Handbook services with a wider range of HR policies. We also create one‑off contracts for businesses of any size to meet specific requirements.
Freelancer Package
If you are planning to work with, or are already working with, a freelancer, associate, contractor, or anyone who is self‑employed, it’s essential to have the right contracts in place to protect your business and set clear expectations from the start.
Our Freelancer Package (£300) provides the key documents you need. We will draft a tailored, branded Contract for Services that reflects your working arrangements and is fully compliant with current UK legislation and best practice. The package also includes a customised Privacy Notice and other essential documents to help you meet your legal obligations and maintain professionalism in your client relationships.
Recruitment
At Grounded HR we are specialists in dealing with people issues. We can advise and support you with any employee issue; whether you need support with a disciplinary matter or an employee grievance. Or if you have someone who is always off sick. You might just have someone who isn’t the right fit for your business or you could be faced with having to make redundancies. We offer a free initial consultation where we offer our initial advice and we will then agree an action plan of how we can support you going forward.
People Issues; disciplinaries, poor performance, grievances, sickness, redundancy
From taking on your first employee, or if you are wanting to expand we can advise you every step of the way, to ensure you recruit the right people for your business. We can draft your advert and advise you on where to place it and create your job description and interview documentation. We can also send out your offer of employment, gain references, facilitate medical clearance and apply for a DBS check (if necessary) and send out the Employment Contract. We can support you as much or as little as you need. Following an initial free consultation, we will discuss your requirements. We will then provide you with a bespoke recruitment support package.
Pay and Salary Structures
Has your business grown quickly? Have you recruited people without a pay structure in place?
We can draft your job descriptions, so all your people are clear about the work they do for you and we can also help you implement a fair pay structure. At Grounded HR we use a 10 factor, points based, analytical job evaluation system to compare jobs, to ensure a fair and defensible pay structure.
Independent Investigations
As a business owner we understand how it can be difficult to follow the ACAS guidelines for an investigation to “be fair and objective”, as often you are closely involved with the situation. We also understand how time consuming thorough investigations can be. We can conduct investigations for you, ensuring that the investigation remains compliant with the ACAS guidelines and that you remain focused on your business. Following an initial free consultation we can discuss and agree an action plan going forward.
