The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has launched a free desktop tool, to help employers manage their enterprises efficiently and effectively.
Employment Law Organiser provides a summary of the key obligations that every employer in a small to medium size enterprise (SME) needs to meet – from small business bosses to third sector directors - and includes links through to the relevant free guidance from Businesslink.
As many third sector organisations don’t have a dedicated HR team to help out, the new tool will make it much simpler for bosses to comply with their obligations; saving them time and money. Research carried out earlier this year with YouGov revealed that millions of pounds is being spent on help with employment issues that is already available for free. This included help with updating contracts and even allocating staff holidays, all of which is available free on Businesslink.
Sitting as an icon on your desktop, Employment Law Organiser can be opened quickly and used when needed. Designed to resemble a personal organiser, users click on the tabs to navigate around three clear sections that cover the lifecycle of an employee; from when they start to when they leave.
The will be automatically updated as and when new legislation is introduced, so it will help employers keep up to date with their obligations. It also includes a handy calendar feature, allowing users to set reminders to review pieces of business legislation at a later date.
