Reducing Employers’ Administration
The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory
Reform (BERR), has launched a campaign advising employers
on how they can reduce the amount of administration involved
in dealing with their employment law obligations. The BERR
believe that some employers are routinely over-complying
or duplicating work.
Employment Relations Minister Pat McFadden said:
"Complying with legislation can be complex at times
but employment law is often easier than business owners think.
Instead of spending money on buying in professional advice
on employment law, employers can get access to a range of
easy-to-use, fully compliant documents that take only a few
minutes to complete. In challenging economic times, it is
all the more important that employers make full use of these
free services.
For example, producing written statements of employment
is a significant burden for employers in both time and money,
and many businesses are paying external advisers to draw
these up for them. In the last year, however, over 40,000
firms have benefited from switching to the written statement
tool we have provided - each of them saving around £120
every time that they do so."
The link below will allow you to access tools which deal with
such issues as Working Time Regulations, flexible working and
statements of terms and conditions.
