All employees are legally entitled to a contract of employment containing their terms of employment. Employment contracts are also essential in businesses to ensure that there is clarity on what is expected in the workplace. We can draft comprehensive tailored contracts of employment in line with current legal obligations and best practice. Contracts of employment can be permanent, fixed term, specified purpose or parttime. We can also review existing contracts of employment and advise on how to update to meet current legislation and standards.

HR Advice Cork Ireland Consultant

HR Advice and Support

Employers are required to stay abreast of the complex evolving employment legislation and informed of current best practices to be legally complaint but also to ensure that employees are engaged, working efficiently and motivated to support the achievement of the business objectives. However, as an employer your time is limited and focused on growing and developing your business. CL HR Consultancy can take the headache out of dealing with these difficult situations and will provide practical step-by-step advice and support on how to deal with problems and legal issues in the workplace. CL HR Consultancy can also advise on preventive steps to ensure that employee issues are kept to a minimum. One small mistake can lead to tribunal claims. Employment tribunals will cost your organisation significant time and money to resolve.

Restructuring & Redundancies

Restructuring and redundancies can be difficult processes for employers, employees and the entire Company to go through. It can affect morale, productivity and takes up a considerable amount of time. Before managing a restructuring process or a redundancy, employers must be familiar with the essential legal requirements surrounding their responsibilities. For this reason, it is very important that an employer follows the correct procedures for each process to ensure fairness and to avoid exposing the Company open to legal claims. CL HR Consultancy can provide independent HR support and advice for any business that needs to restructure their existing business operations.

Employee Handbooks

An employee handbook is a necessary and practical way to clearly outline the procedures & policies that apply in the workplace as well as being a ‘go-to’ guide for employees providing other useful information about the business. A detailed employment contract supported by relevant HR procedures in an employee handbook can protect a business from unnecessary litigation and help avoid costly misunderstandings about the obligations of both employers and employees in the workplace. We can issue you with a tailored employee handbook that suits your business needs.
