Employment Law Retainers

Retainer Services

Regardless of what size of your workforce, you can benefit from our HR Employment Law Retainer packages.

We offer a variety of employment law retainers for employers. All of our retainers can be bespoke and customised to your needs. You decide the level of service you want. We agree a fee and start date.

Our retainers vary from an unlimited service whereby you use us as much or as little as you want for an agreed monthly fee. Alternatively you can buy a set number of annual hours from us at a discounted rate. You decide.

All of our retained clients benefit from our membership of United Employment Lawyers. You can take out a discounted employment law insurance from SKB for as little as £336 per year for a quarter of a million cover.

Plus all retained clients receive a 70% reduction (from £1,188 to £356) for our market-leading on line HR documents and E-learning compliance service, HR-ARM.

Purposley designed to save businesses legal cost, resource and management time. Our HR-ARM product is available on a subscription basis, to further meet the needs of smaller growing businesses. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

HR-ARM provides you with a library of up-to-date and legally compliant HR documents, which are editable to your individual needs, plus it also acts as a staff data management repository; employee information, absentee plus holiday calendar, and performance archive.
