As an Employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that your Employees' rights are fully protected....

Concerned about employment legislation?

Employment law is changing all the time. As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that your employees' rights are fully protected. Failure to understand and apply the complex legislation can be costly. Employment tribunals can award in excess of £60,000.00 for a case of unfair dismissal. The time involved in dealing with employee claims takes you away from your core business, not to mention the financial drain of legal costs involved.

In order to provide cover against such claims and to offer practical assistance, Forshaws Employment Team has developed the Forshaws Employment Protection Scheme.

Peace of mind

Our Scheme will provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that your business is both compliant with the legislation and, if you follow our advice, that you are fully protected against any potential liability or compensation claim.

By taking out our Employment Protection Scheme you will ensure that expert help and advice is directly available to you, with a specific helpline to our experienced team of lawyers who specialise in employment related law. In addition, we are able to provide direct links between those Solicitors and a leading insurer with the costs of legal representation and compensation awards of up to £100,000.00 in any one claim being covered.

What does this involve?

We will ensure that your involvement is kept to a minimum. Initially, we will meet with you to find out more about your business. We will then prepare a tailor-made proposal based on this information together with a premium quotation. Once this has been agreed, we will review your current HR practices and propose improvements. Finally, we will then provide the cover that ensures your business is safeguarded against the risk of claims.

Our customised service is specifically tailored to suit your Company needs. Even if you opt for minimum cover you will be guaranteed the skills and support of a specialist employment team. Your cover will provide your business with instant access to specialist legal advice. Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, in the event of a claim you will be guaranteed your representative of choice and be safe in the knowledge that both costs and any award will be covered.
