This website has been created to provide information, advice and documentation for Line Managers working within organisations that do not have professional Human Resource support. It is also particularly appropriate for multi-site operations that operate independently when dealing with day to day personnel issues.

Whatever the organisation and resource we believe that it is an essential tool for all managers who have a responsibility for that most important business resource - people!

The information sections, policies and procedures have been written in a practical and straightforward way, explaining how employment legislation translates in practice. A strict interpretation of law may be required when dealing with Employment Tribunal or other claims by employees and users are therefore advised to seek legal opinion before responding to these.

We are constantly adding to and improving our service and always welcome comment and suggestions from our users.
