1000s of answers to the most pressing HR and health & safety questions

Issues arise all the time! Legislation changes even more! And sometimes you need immediate answers to all sorts of topics such as:

  • Do I have to suspend someone if they are being investigated for gross misconduct?
  • How do I respond to a flexible working request?
  • Can I fire an employee for being on long-term sick leave?

As employers, you can’t be expected to have all the answers all the time, but legally you have an obligation to give the right answers no matter what.
