Employing people can be complicated and keeping up with the legal compliance aspects of employment is too much for most business owners. At HR by Tara, our aim is to make it easier for business owners to be good employers. This course is designed to help you understand your key responsibilities as an employer, protect yourself and your business from employment-related legal risks, and manage your people effectively to achieve business success.

This introduction will help you understand what you already know, what you don’t know, and what you might need further support with if it arises within your business.In particular, we'll be explaining what changes you will need to know due to the Employment Rights Act (ERA). We'll cover areas such as:

What makes someone an employee?

Contractual terms and conditions of employment

Probationary periods

Zero hours workers

Pay and pensions

Working time and time off

Family related leave

Equality law

Managing issues at work

Ending employment lawfully

There's a lot to cover, but we'll only focus on the essentials you need to know as a business owner or manager - without the legal or HR jargon. Our aim is to help you keep out of hot water and focus on the success of your business.
