Employment Updates

New leave rights for parents as to how they use maternity and paternity leave.

The government is proposing to change the law so that employed mothers will be able to transfer all or part of the last 26 weeks of maternity leave to the father. To the extent that this "additional paternity leave" is taken during the mother's 39 week maternity pay period, it would be paid at the same rate as SMP, currently £123.06.

A consultation on draft regulations is to be launched soon. Subject to consultation and parliamentary procedure, the Government intends that the law be in force by April 2010 and have effect for parents of children due on or after 3rd April 2011. More information 

Employee Administration

For every employee you employ there are a growing number of details, documents and processes to be carried out making the employee administration system become more and more complex and detailed. 

If we start with recruiting a new employee there will be application forms, documents to prove right to work in the UK, employee references, employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance procedures to be issued, signed for and retained on file.  Throughout the length of service of any employee the administration continues, training and development records, performance management, sickness, holidays and absence all require employee administration maintaining an accurate record for all staff. 

For most small to medium sized businesses employee administration becomes a headache. It takes up valuable time and space. 

At Connect HR & Recruitment Ltd we can take all that away from you and be your employee administration team with an effective electronic system from start to finish and throughout the full length of service.  We implement an almost paperless employee administration system and manage it for you.

All your existing documents are scanned in to pdf files and stored safely. New documents are created electronically.  The end result being that all employees have an electronic file, when you require a document from an employees file you e-mail a request and we e-mail you the document. If you need the file we e-mail you the file. 

As part of our electronic employee administration system we also keep you compliant with current employee legislation, all documents are updated and you have access to HR advice 365 days of the year.
