EMPLOYMENT law is an increasingly complicated field – and mistakes can be expensive – so having an expert on hand at all times offers the peace of mind needed to get on with the day-to-day running of a business.

EMPLOYMENT law is an increasingly complicated field – and mistakes can be expensive – so having an expert on hand at all times offers the peace of mind needed to get on with the day-to-day running of a business.
Black Dog HR offers a retained service that combines regular visits to ensure the necessary procedures are in place with a responsive service should an issue or dispute arise.
Gill Craik of Black Dog HR said: “Not all companies want or need a full time HR person but they do need someone to ensure everything is place and help them deal with any problems that might arise.
“We spend time getting to know our clients’ companies so that we know how they operate and what their needs are. If things like staff handbooks and contracts aren’t in place, we can help with that, iron out any problems or grievances before they become real issues.
“Because it is a retained service, our clients know the costs up front and don’t have to think twice about picking up the telephone for advice, as it’s all included. It’s peace of mind, knowing we take care of everything.”
For some time, Wilcox Fabrications in Northampton, who specialise in the design, manufacture and construction of bespoke architectural steel and glass interior and exterior features, has been a client of Black Dog HR.
Managing Director Jeremy Wilcox said: “Gill comes in regularly and speaks to staff across all departments to get a feel for what’s happening and identify any issues or areas where we need to act”.
“As Managing Director, I need to step back from any disputes in case they escalate and I need to be the last line of decision making, and so it is helpful for me to know that I can leave that in Gill’s hands and that her and her team will do the best to get a resolution, before it needs to involve me. It’s also beneficial for the employees to know that procedures are being followed from the start, safeguarding their position in the business”.
“There are approximately 30 people here and Gill will stay abreast of any changes, making sure we implement what we need to and remain legally compliant.”
