What is your HR issue?
HR Products Ltd has helped companies resolve many personnel and employee issues.
Here’s a quick A-Z of some of the most common areas where we help our clients. Can we help with your HR issue?
The Information and Consultation of Employees (ICE) Regulations introduced 6 April 2005 applies to businesses with 50 or more employees. This regulation gives employees the right to be informed and consulted on a variety of business and employment situations. If you are thinking of introducing an agreement to address this matter, please contact us. A written statement of disciplinary and grievance proceedings is required by Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act. From April 2009 statutory disciplinary and grievance procedures became more relaxed and the ACAS code of practice was introduced. These new procedures are to be applied when handling any accusation, misconduct, a dismissal, a demotion, or suspension. We provide compliant documentation, guidance and coaching to resolve any employee issue.

If the employee is considered disabled within the meaning of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, reasonable adjustments must be made to the employee’s job to accommodate their short/long-term requirements. Are you unsure how to manage absence within your Company, please contact us to find a solution.
MaternityAll pregnant employees are entitled to both ordinary and additional maternity leave regardless of length of service. Statutory Maternity Pay is payable for 39 weeks and this is not affected by any ‘keeping in touch days’. We provide guidance and support throughout the process and ensure ease when managing flexible working requests.
