Alliance takes the headache out of employment law

CBI chiefs have called for a moratorium on new employment legislation, calculating that Labour’s employment laws have cost the British economy around £37billion.

It’s a staggering figure, but one that may not come as too much of a surprise to businesses struggling to cope with such a heavy burden of legislation.

Now Alliance has launched a new website aimed at taking the headache out of employment law with up-to-the-minute information, advice and practical help for growing companies who want a simple and low cost solution to the minefield of employment law and regulations.

The site, www.allianceemploymentrisk.co.uk, provides a ‘virtual’ HR department without the hefty price tag of an in-house department. Current issues at the top of the information agenda include Age Discrimination issues and minimum age requirements – everything companies need to make sure they’re covered is here.

Alliance, sponsors of this year’s prestigious CBI Growing Business Awards - the business Oscars – knows all about helping companies on the way up and how to avoid the pitfalls out there. And employment legislation is a potential headache for every employer.

Businesses pay a flat £300-a-year fee for full access to the site, which explains employment legislation in a straightforward way and provides information, policies, procedures and documentation to help manage effectively and within the law. There are also monthly newsletters and an invaluable “Ask the Expert” facility for specific inquiries – helping avoid the costs of an employment lawyer on basic and general employment issues.

Companies who can benefit from the service include those without in-house professional Human Resource support and multi-site organisations operating independently when dealing with HR issues. Businesses looking to save time and money on dealing with HR issues will also find the site extremely useful, as well as managers responsible for that most important business resource of all – people.
