Whether you employ a handful of people or a much larger workforce, understanding how the new legislation may affect your business is an important first step.
What does the Health Check cover?
Our Health Check considers some of the key areas affected by the Employment Rights Act, including:

- Probationary periods and performance management
- Policies and procedures
- Statutory sick pay changes

A practical starting point
The purpose of the Health Check is not to provide legal advice on your specific circumstances. Instead, it is designed to give you a practical overview of where your business currently stands and highlight areas that may benefit from further consideration.
Many employers are already reviewing their employment documentation and management processes to ensure they are prepared for the changes both already implemented and ahead. Taking action early can help reduce legal risk and provide greater confidence for managers.
