Human Resources
Helping you work efficiently
Employers’ legal responsibilities regarding employment law and human resource management are complex and essential to running a successful business. Whether navigating employment contracts, managing employee relations, or overseeing the recruitment process, getting it right is critical for your operations and your people.
At CXCS, we specialise in human resource consulting and HR outsourcing tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. Our expert team will provide all the essential documentation, systems, and support needed to ensure legal compliance, improve employee management, and streamline your business processes. We offer a cost-effective, flexible service – available as a complete package or individual components – allowing you to align your HR strategy with business goals.
Contracts of employment
A contract of employment is an essential legal document outlining the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee.
Whether you hire contract employees, fixed-term staff, or permanent team members, providing a detailed written agreement covering employment terms, working hours, job specification, salary range, and allowance is a legal requirement under the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Our HR consultants can create bespoke, branded contracts tailored to your business needs, ensuring they are clear, comprehensive, and fully compliant with employment law. We’ll help ensure you meet all your obligations around work hours, minimum wage, minimum notice period, and more.
Company handbooks
Alongside contracts, we recommend a robust employee handbook. This provides accessible, up-to-date information on your disciplinary and grievance procedures, annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, parental leave, and more.Your handbook should include:
- Company code of conduct
- Guidance on performance appraisal and employee benefits
- Time and attendance policies
- Clear communication and interpersonal skills expectations
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures under UK employment law and this should reflect the ACAS code of practice
- Absence and leave policy (for 5 or more employees)
