Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Law Services
What employment law support do UK employers need?
Most employers need support across a range of areas, including employment contracts, staff handbooks, disciplinary and grievance procedures, absence and performance management and compliance with legislation covering redundancy, TUPE and employee relations. The specific support needed will depend on the size of your business and the complexity of your workforce, but having access to clear, practical employment law advice helps you manage people confidently and reduces the risk of costly mistakes.
When should an employer seek employment law advice?
Ideally before a situation becomes a problem. Getting advice early, when a concern first arises, gives you more options and reduces the risk of a process going wrong. THSP supports employers at every stage, from putting the right foundations in place through to navigating complex or sensitive situations as they arise. The earlier you seek advice, the easier it usually is to manage the outcome.
What is the difference between a disciplinary and a grievance process?
A disciplinary process is initiated by the employer in response to concerns about an employee’s conduct or performance. A grievance process is initiated by an employee who has a complaint about their treatment, working conditions or a workplace relationship. Both processes have specific legal requirements and procedural steps that must be followed correctly. THSP can support you through both, including preparing for meetings, producing the right documentation and advising on outcomes.
What are an employer’s legal obligations around redundancy?
Redundancy is a potentially fair reason for dismissal, but the process must be followed correctly to avoid an unfair dismissal claim. Key obligations include genuine redundancy selection, meaningful individual consultation, consideration of suitable alternative roles and correct notice and redundancy pay entitlements. Where 20 or more redundancies are proposed within 90 days, collective consultation obligations also apply. THSP can guide you through the full process and help you manage it fairly and compliantly.
What is TUPE and when does it apply?
TUPE stands for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. It applies when a business or part of a business is transferred from one employer to another, or when a service is outsourced, insourced or retendered. TUPE protects employees by transferring their existing terms and conditions to the new employer. The obligations on both transferring and receiving employers are significant and getting the process wrong can result in substantial legal liability. THSP can advise on whether TUPE applies to your situation and support you through the consultation and transfer process.
How can employment law support help with difficult workplace conversations?
Knowing the right process is only part of the challenge. Managers also need the confidence to approach sensitive conversations in a way that is fair, consistent and legally sound. THSP helps you prepare for disciplinary meetings, grievance hearings, absence reviews, performance conversations, redundancy consultations and TUPE discussions, ensuring the right steps are taken and that the conversation is handled in a way that protects both the individual and the business.
Can THSP help if an employee raises a tribunal claim?
THSP’s employment law support is designed to help you manage workplace issues in a way that reduces the risk of a claim arising in the first place. If a situation does escalate, having followed the correct process and maintained thorough documentation significantly strengthens your position. THSP can advise on your options and help you respond appropriately, though for tribunal representation you may also need specialist legal counsel depending on the complexity of the matter.
