HR and employment law
The effective recruitment and management of care staff are key to achieving and maintaining a safe, caring, responsive and effective care business. Your business and its staff are heavily regulated by CQC so dealing with staff issues requires specialist knowledge of the regulatory system.
Our solicitors have substantial experience in advising care providers on employment and related regulatory issues. These include:
- Recruitment and retention
- Compliance with the National Minimum / Living Wage
- Suspending staff and taking disciplinary action
- Whistleblowing and safeguarding investigations
- Disclosure and Barring Service referrals
- Managing sickness absence and poor performance
- Grievance and discrimination investigations
- Business immigration
- TUPE advice on the sale or purchase of a business or on the re-tender of local authority funded contracts
- Employment contracts for care staff and Registered Managers
- Policies and staff handbooks for care staff
- HR training
