Attn: HR Professionals and Employment Lawyers

Brand new HR Policies for October 2024, compliant with all new laws on sexual harassment, holiday pay, flexible working, requests for predictable working patterns, and more...

INTRODUCING:

Up-to-date HR Policies from a practising Employment Law Barrister that you can rely on to be Concise, Easy to Follow and Legally Compliant

Isn’t it time you aligned yours with current legislation?

“Buy Daniel Barnett’s HR policies because all the hard work has been done for you already.”

Alison McRae

Are you a busy hr professional?

Here’s a quick question for you.

How confident is your knowledge of the following recent employment legislation updates:

The new rules on accruing and calculating holiday for casual and part-year workers
The new rules on requests for flexible working (including two requests a year, it becoming a Day One right, the formalities required during the application, and the shortened time period for dealing with flexible working requests)
Incoming laws requiring employers to deal with requests for predictable working patterns (including from agency workers)
Extensions to the rights of pregnant women AND other categories of employees to 'trump' others for alternative roles during redundancy exercises
The new right to carer's leave
And anything else you might have missed…?

I’m sure you’re already familiar with many of these changes in employment law.

But even if you have kept up-to-date, have your policies done likewise?

That’s the million-pound question….

For many organisations these changes, and probably many more, don’t feature in their HR policies. Or if they do, there’s a problem with them.

Often exclusions, omissions or mistakes are small

Occasionally they over-extend their reach.

Perhaps they result in an unworkable policy:

Or maybe, they’re a source of amusement

A policy that is inadequate, poorly understood or clumsily enforced can be a source of significant grief.

It might result in reputational damage to the organisation, a costly tribunal, expensive compensation awards…

… and a huge amount of work for you.

And that’s where it gets personal.

If you do get caught out by a policy that’s not fit for purpose, there’s a small but embarrassing dent in your own professional standing with your colleagues and the leadership team…

…all of which is preventable.

The trouble is, you’ll often only know how good your HR policies really are when they’re up against the situations and circumstances they’re intended to cover.

And I should know, because I’ve been a practising Employment Law Barrister for over 25 years.

My name is Daniel Barnett.

I am highly regarded for my employment and HR law expertise and am passionate about helping HR Professionals like you understand the law better to make your job easier for you.

I have appeared in many Court of Appeal and Employment Appeal Tribunal cases together with complex High Court employment litigation. I also appear regularly in employment tribunals up and down the country and I particularly enjoy sharing my experiences with the HR community..

My areas of work include:

unfair dismissal claims
whistleblowing and discrimination claims
collective redundancy disputes
restrictive covenant cases
and employees who misuse their employer's confidential information

My employer clients include a member of the Royal Family, several international airlines, a global leisure industry company and telecommunications company, as well as many hundreds of SMEs.

I have sat on various Bar Council committees and am a member of the Staff Committee and Bar Representation Committees of the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn.

I’m also called on regularly to comment on television and radio on current legal issues. I am the presenter of the LBC Legal Hour, broadcasting every Saturday evening at 9pm across the UK, in which I answer legal questions from LBC callers. I am well known for my forthright, honest and clear answers to even the most challenging questions.

I am the author or co-author of eighteen books, including the highly regarded Handbook on Employment Law.

I bring all of that experience to bear when helping HR professionals develop a workable set of HR policies for their organisation.

Based on my extensive experience, here’s what I consider to be the gold standard for a suite of good HR policies.

For an HR professional to sleep soundly at night free from any concerns or worries, their HR policies (as a minimum) have to be:

Legally compliant
Up-to-date with current legislation
Integrated (meaning each policy complements and supports any related policies)

I’m sure you’ll agree with that.

But as we’ve found in organisations, that’s not usually the case...

Here’s the problem with many organisations’ HR Policies (maybe yours too)...

There’s a consistent problem we’ve seen over the many years we’ve been working with HR professionals.

It’s common in organisations both large and small (and everything in between).

In fact, it’s such a common phenomenon we’ve even developed a name for it.

We call it the 'Hotch-Potch HR Policy Problem'.

Why?

Well, it’s because the HR policies are usually an uncoordinated collection of documents from at least two or more of these sources:

An original set of old, probably now out of date, policies created by a previous HR professional no longer working for the organisation.
A partial set of 'newish' policies introduced by their replacement because they worked so well in their last company
Policies 'borrowed' from someone in the HR Manager’s network when new legislation is announced.
Cobbled-together policies from a free template downloaded from a website at the top of the google search for 'free hr policy template'
Outsourced policies created by an online source paid for from a shoestring budget (maybe even from Upwork or Fiverr!)

And that’s the problem.

At the very least this Hotch-Potch of Policies won’t be legally compliant, up-to-date or integrated.

But at worst…

…there’s more than just a problem…

….it’s likely to be a ticking tribunal time bomb.

It’s not a matter of IF something will upset the HR applecart to test your policies, but WHEN.

For many organisations these changes, and probably many more, don’t feature in their HR policies. Or if they do there’s a problem with them.

And if your organisation’s HR policies are not robust enough, that could result in a costly, expensive and time sucking tribunal.

Now if this resonates with you, recognise it’s not your fault.

You’ve got such an important job to do.

You’re pulled and stretched in so many different directions.

When you’re faced with a problem to solve, you’re likely to be the sort of person who strives to solve it quickly.

If you need to to fill a gap that’s appeared in your HR policy package, you’ll find a way of shoring it up quickly so you can get on with what you do best.

The challenge however is this:

Over time, your HR policies will drift further and further from the gold standard of being:

Legally compliant
Up-to-date
Integrated

It’s a precarious position to be in.

Now given the exhausting demands of your role, it’s unlikely you have the time to review your current policies, audit them for legislative compliance and update them where they fall short of the gold standard.

So let me take all that hassle away from you by introducing:

The best way to be sure of the unbeatable quality of the Platinum Policy Package is to see it for yourself.

PLUS...
included with all sets of policies...

The Watertight Employment Contract Pack

Two carefully crafted, tightly written employment contract templates for:

Junior Employees
Senior Employees

updated for 2024 to include the new laws on holiday pay. 

Our Triple-A Update Protection included throughout 2024

The HR Platinum Policy Suite also includes free updates for any policies impacted by new legislation or case law in 2024.

Should the new Labour government pass any legislation that impacts any of the policies you’ve invested in, I will:

Assess the impact.
Amend the policy as the legislation requires
Automatically issue you with the updated policy.

How good is The HR Platinum Policy Suite?

Rather than take our word for it, here’s what just some of our delighted customers have told us.

The HR Platinum Policy Suite also comes with these helpful bonuses

In addition to the policy, contract and update protection package, it also comes with these incredibly helpful bonuses to support your successful, seamless and stress free implementation of the policies into your organisation:


BONUS #1 - Legal Soundbite Summaries/Summary

Listen to me, employment law barrister Daniel Barnett, summarise and explain the legal ramifications of each policy and contract in this companion audio guide.

This is a perfect introduction to each policy or as a quick reminder of the points of law it supports.

BONUS #2 - “TIPS TRICKS & TECHNIQUES” A STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR INTRODUCING NEW HR POLICIES INTO ANY ORGANISATION

If it were as easy as 'replace the old with the new', there’d be no need for this bonus. However, migrating from a set of outdated policies to your new Platinum Policy Suite has its own legal and practical traps and pitfalls if you don’t know what you’re doing.

In this step by step guide, I (Daniel Barnett) draw on my years of experience to help you plot your course towards a problem free introduction and integration of the HR Platinum Policy Suite.

BONUS #3 - EMPLOYEE POLICY BRIEFING SUMMARY CARDS

In an ideal world, every employee would be thoroughly conversant with and have perfect recall of every policy that directly applies to them. Unfortunately that’s never going to be the case, even with the best of intentions.

However, the next best thing is to provide your employees with short summary cards that remind them of the key points to be aware of.

These concise memory joggers will help keep the main policy issues front of mind for even the busiest member of your team. You’ll get the e-versions of these cards so you can print off and distribute as many of these as you like.

BONUS #4 - EMPLOYEE POLICY BRIEFING PRESENTATIONS

Should you need to brief groups of employees on key aspects of any of the policies, you’ll also get a short powerpoint presentation you can use to explain each one. You’ll have edit access to each presentation enabling you to tailor it to the needs of different audiences..

These presentation templates are also the ones we use to create your Employee Policy Summary Cards. This means you can create your own tailored cards too.

BONUS #5 - HR Policy Proficiency Tests

Do you want to check your managers have read and understood your polices? Use this set of over 40 multiple choice questions to test their knowledge and encourage them to familiarise themselves with the policies.

BONUS #6 - The Perfect Policy Graphics Bundle

It’s also important that your policies look the part. So we’ve included a professionally produced set of covers using high quality graphical design and appropriate imagery to make your policy suite stand out.

As an added bonus we’ve included two sets of the covers, one with numbering and the other without for you to adapt as you wish.

BONUS #7 - THE INDEPENDENT HR CONSULTANT “BUSINESS IN A BOX” POLICY RESALE LICENSE

Perfect for Independent HR Consultants and solicitors, you’ll also get distribution and resale rights for all of the policies and contracts.

This allows you to market and sell the policies to your existing client base to create another profitable revenue stream. If you choose not to charge your clients for them, it will still be a powerful selling point to potential new clients that separates you from your closest competition.  Just one caveat: in fairness to all our other customers, we don't allow you to post the policies for free on social media sites.

BONUS #8 - THE INDEPENDENT HR CONSULTANT “BUSINESS IN A BOX” POLICY MARKETING PACK

To support Independent HR Consultants who wish to market your licensed ability to sell the policies and contracts to your clients, we provide you with a “Business In A Box” Policy Marketing pack. This consists of:

A step by step marketing plan.
Keyword research
A brandable sales letter you can put on your website.

So should you invest in the
HR Platinum Policy Suite?

Yes…and maybe no.

Let me explain.

The Platinum Policy Suite is NOT right for you if:

You’re a fully qualified employment law solicitor or barrister and know you could put a suite of HR policies together yourself (even if it did take a large chunk of your time to do it).
Or you’ve already paid a specialist employment law barrister £5k+ to create your HR policy suite in the last 12 months and are completely happy with their implementation and adherence by your managers and employees.
Or you’re comfortable with surviving on a hotchpotch of HR policies knitted together from the legacy policies your predecessor left you, stuff shared in Facebook groups to fill the gaps and the free templates you’ve downloaded from HR websites in return for your email address.
Or you’re a public sector employer, or a large business which recognises a union and doesn't have the freedom to set its own policies
Or you believe in surviving on luck and if you’ve not had a problem with your HR policies so far, then chances are you’ll be ok in the future.

But, The Platinum Policy Suite is DEFINITELY right for you if:

You’re eager to make sure the HR policies you’re responsible for don’t come back and bite you at some point in the future.
You know that having a set of HR Policies that are concise, easy for the employees to follow and legally compliant will help you sleep easier at night.
You want to save tens if not hundreds of hours by NOT having to put together these policies yourself.
It’s been a while since you updated your current policy suite and you appreciate they’ve been published by the UK’s leading Employment Barrister whose job it is to keep on top of current legislation.
You’re an Independent HR consultant and want an impressive additional offering to help service your clients even better (and add another income stream to your revenue).

So what’s the cost of the HR Platinum Policy Suite?

It’s important to compare the alternatives you have open to you when considering the value of investing in this package.

If you were to hire a senior lawyer with over 20 years’ experience of working in employment law, then you can reasonably expect to pay in excess of £5,000.

That would be more than a fair price for such expertise to create a set of bespoke policies for you and your organisation.

Of course that figure doesn’t factor in the cost of your time to create the brief, consult with the barrister, answer their queries about your organisation, review the policies and provide the detailed feedback for each policy.

If you’re been in HR for a while however, you could significantly reduce that cost and put a set of policies together yourself.

You live and breathe the HR function every day of the week.

You have years of HR knowledge and experience.

Back that up with a ton of extensive research to get up to speed with the current legislation, then there’s no doubt you could compile a workable set of policies.

You might need to get them checked by an employment lawyer just to make sure they are fully legally compliant….

…but I’d expect you’d be both pleased and proud of what you produce.

If you factor in your time and the cost to get them legally verified, you’d have a working set of policies for anywhere between £3-5k.

Of course those options are both expensive AND time consuming.

Which leaves you with investing in a package like The Platinum Policy Suite.

So how much is the investment?

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the law changes?

The Platinum Policy Suite includes free updates throughout 2024 for any policies impacted by new legislation or caselaw.  Whenever there is a change in the law that impacts any of the policies you’ve invested in, we will assess the impact, amend the policy as the legislation/caselaw requires and automatically issue you with the updated policy.

For example, in August 2024 we reissued our Harassment & Bullying Policy to cover the new positive duty to prevent sexual harassment in line with new legislation, and added an optional section on dealing with third party harassment in line with the technical EHRC Guidance.

Can I see a sample?

Absolutely - click here to download a sample of our Absence Management Policy.

I see I get a £700 discount on the full price if I try out the HR Inner Circle membership for 30 days. What is the HR Inner Circle?

The HR Inner Circle is a membership group for smart, ambitious HR professionals; where you can get all the help, support, advice and encouragement you need to ease the constant pressure you have to bear. For full details of all the benefits, go to: https://hrinnercircle.co.uk

We have a collective agreement with a union. Can we use these policies?

No, unfortunately not. Generally the policies will not be suitable for public sector employers or large businesses which recognise a union and do not have the freedom to set their own policies.

How are the policies different from the ones you produced in previous years?

They are updated from our 2023 version, to include all updates to employment and HR law (such as the changes to holiday pay laws, flexible working laws, family friendly laws and the incoming right to request predictable working patterns). 

In 2023, we rewrote the policies from scratch and added six new ones.  If you have a version of these policies that predates 2023, they are no longer fit for purpose or available for purchase.

Can I rebrand the policies for myself?

Yes, the policies can be rebranded to match your company branding.

Are there any limits to my ability to give away or re-sell the policies?

The policies come with a licence that entitles you to use the policies and contracts within your own organisation, and to sell the policies and contracts to third parties. You are also entitled to give them away for free to existing clients. However, in fairness to all our customers, you may not offer them for free on your website or on social media.

Can I buy specific policies from the Platinum Policy Suite instead of all 26?

No, sorry. The policies cross-reference each other and are sold as a complete pacakge only.

My organisation is unique and has its own special needs, will these policies still be useful for me?

The Platinum Policy Suite will be an excellent starting point; you can tailor the policies to your own specific needs and requirements. They will however not be suitable if you work in a regulated sector, such as the financial sector.

I write my own HR policies, how will The Platinum Policy Suite be useful for me?

If you want to save tens, if not hundreds, of hours by not having to put together these policies yourself, the Platinum Policy Suite is for you. Or if you just want a little bit of help, the package is an excellent foundation upon which you can build your own unique policies. You can tailor the policies to your own specific needs and requirements and rest easy knowing the policies are detailed, accurate and legally compliant.

What if I want my money back?

We offer a 12 month guarantee. If you’re not 100% satisfied with any aspect of the Platinum Policy Suite at any time in the next 12 months, just let us know by emailing jennie.hargrove@emplawservices.co.uk and we’ll refund you.
