Write a blueprint

Setting procedures on issues such as
sickness, absence and grievances is
worth doing as early as possible so they
become the blueprint everyone adheres
to as your business grows. A disciplinary
and grievance policy is probably the
most important, followed by a code
of conduct and attendance at work.
Payroll is also vital, to make sure
employees receive the right amount
of money at the right time, and tax
and national insurance are deducted.
You can do this within the company
or contract it out, but you have a legal
obligation to produce pay statements,
manage PAYE and national insurance
contributions. The consequences of
not managing this correctly can be
expensive - so it's something you
should concentrate on getting right.

Beyond legal

Compliance is about more than legal
requirements, says Claire Vane from Integrated
Resources - focus on the consequences
It's essential to ensure you're compliant with
employment law - looking at statute, contract
and precedent - and, when doing so, to take the
approach that is also psychologically appropriate;
one size does not fit all. The key to interpreting
employment law is to interpret it not only
intellectually, but think about the psychological
consequences of the actions and all those
affected, not just immediate stakeholders. 
It can take an investment of time and resources,
but it's worthwhile. Think about the outcomes
before you start - don't just view it from a
financial viewpoint.
At Integrated Resources we aim to provide wellbalanced solutions and reduce risk. We help you
establish trust-driven connections between line
managers and employees, provide comprehensive
documents from employee handbooks to
contracts, and draft legal documents to resolve
disputes without the need for costly employment
lawyers. We also educate line management in
the effective application of employment law,
offering solutions in partnership with our clients.

Stay up to date

Ensure you're in line with
changing employment law, says
Marc Bishop from Plus HR
This April we're seeing more changes
to legislation than normal. This includes
Leave and Pay Act, which will give
employees a period of paid time off
from work following the death of a child.
There's also an increase in the holiday pay
reference period for workers who work
different hours from one week to another,
which means a new way to calculate
weekly pay, and changes to the IR35
legislation for contractors as it is extended
from the public to the private sector.
All SMEs will need to consider the
impact of these, particularly when
recruiting new employees. Plus HR is
able to offer assistance with most of
these changes (IR35 will require the
intervention of an accountant). We will
review and help implement new policies
impacting parental leave and holiday
calculations. We can also help SMEs create
employment statements to ensure that
new employees understand their rights.

Look after wellbeing

As a new business, you'll probably start
with only a few members of staff, so it's
important to attract the right people.
They need to be as passionate about
your business as you are and able to
fulfil several roles at the same time. It's
important to have a job description in
place that you're both happy with and
which offers flexibility on both sides.
Regular appraisals are important, even
if you think you don't have time. Being
open and working on goals together is
key for retention, job satisfaction and
development. If you struggle with them,
appraisals can be outsourced to an
external company. Bringing in somebody
from outside your business can boost
employee engagement and have a direct
impact on reducing staffing issues too.
