As an employer, you’re responsible for preventing bullying and harassment in your workplace. And what’s more, you could end up in an employment tribunal if you don’t take this seriously ⚠

A bullying and harassment policy can help to set super high standards in your business, by making it crystal clear what behaviour you expect from your employees and what they can expect from you.

To save you time, and to protect your business – I’ve pulled together a policy template for you to give to your new or existing employees.

Keep reading to find out more 👇

WHAT YOU’LL GET

In a nutshell, you'll get a top notch bullying & harassment policy template, which makes it super clear to your employees, that you take a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and harassment. And what’s more, it tells them what to do, should they need to make a complaint so you comply with your legal responsibilities.

Here's a bit more info:

✅ After purchase, a link to the template will be emailed to you instantly.

✅ You can easily personalise it, by adding your company logo.

✅ Should a question pop into your mind after purchase, you can contact me at any time.

✅ And if the law changes – as it sometimes does – you’ll get access to an updated version.

WHY YOU SHOULD GET THIS TEMPLATE

👉Most responsible employers like you, will want to do the right thing and create a positive working environment, where people are looked after and feel respected. This policy helps to reinforce that.

👉You can find yourself in hot water legally, if you don’t put the right things in place to prevent and stamp out bullying and harassment in your workplace.

👉In fact, GOV.UK tribunal statistics show that in 2018/19, there were 114 discrimination claims awarded compensation for: race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and age discrimination. The largest ever UK award for sex discrimination amounted to a whopping £1,762,130 in 2015/16. Oh, and there’s no cap on the fines compensation for discrimination claims.

MY TOP TIP

💡As the boss, always set a super example, by personally clamping down on any anti-discriminatory behaviours in your workplace. Even if it's just 'banter', and people are joining in, you won't know how people feel on the inside. If you tolerate it as the boss, you're essentially saying it's ok.

Workplace disputes can be a nightmare for small business owners 😰 They’re emotionally draining, time consuming, and can cost the earth.

One way to avoid them, is to get written proof that your staff have read and understood the HR policies contained within your employee handbook 👍

That’s where my disclaimer form comes in. And what’s more, you can use it for both new and existing employees.

WHY YOU NEED THIS FORM

Picture the scene. Your employee is off sick, but hasn’t followed your procedure for reporting the absence. When you confront them about it, they say they didn’t know what the right procedure was?! 🤔

With my form, you can stop this situation from happening in the first place. Or if it does happen, at least you have something solid to fall back on.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

A link to a one-page form in Microsoft Word format – that arrives in your email inbox within seconds. Just download it and give it to your employee to sign to say that they’ve received and read your employee handbook and agree to comply to it. Then keep it in a safe place. Simple! 

A few extra things you need to know:

➡ It’s super easy to personalise. You just add your company logo and change the bits I’ve highlighted for you in red.

➡ If you’ve any queries after you’ve purchased my form – I’m totally here for you! Just send me an email with any questions. 

MY TOP TIP

💡 To protect you – and the business you’ve worked so damn hard to build up – carve out time in your diary to walk your employees through any important HR docs like: contracts, handbooks, and forms (rather than simply emailing them). That way, your staff are more likely to remember that this paperwork exists, and what it says!

NOT GOT AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK?

👉Don’t worry, get my Employee Handbook Template here.

🔍 Read my blogs on why it’s MEGA important to protect yourself with top-notch HR docs 👇

I've heard some HR horror stories. How can I avoid this?

I've only got one employee? Do I need an Employee Handbook?

Purchases are subject to these terms.

An Employee Handbook is a super important document to give to your employees when they join – whether you’ve got one 👤 or one-hundred employees! 👥

In a nutshell, it’s a bunch of essential HR policies, procedures, and guidelines about how you run your business. Everything from your sickness absence process, right through to how you deal with poor performance – it sets out what you expect from your employees, and what they can expect from you.

Workplace quarrels can be hell for small business owners 😱 So, get ahead and stop them from happening in the first place, with my top-notch template 👇

WHAT YOU’LL GET

An employee handbook template, with access to over 30 HR policies. So, it's super comprehensive! The image on this page shows you which ones. 👍 To make doubly sure you get the best out of this template, you’ll also get some detailed instructions and FAQs to help you launch it.

Here's a few extra things to tell you:

📧 After you’ve paid online, a link to the docs will be emailed to you like a shot!

📑 The template itself comes in Microsoft Word format.

👊 It’s MEGA easy to add your company logo and brand font or colours

WHY YOU SHOULD GET THIS TEMPLATE 

⏺ It’s the go-to guide for HOW you want to run your business, and sets out the behaviours you want from your people

⏺ It helps you to treat everybody in the same way, without discrimination

⏺ It’ll help to protect your business, should any people problems rear their ugly head in the future

⏺ It’ll help to keep you out of THE dreaded employment tribunal 😨

⏺ You get the benefit of my 18 years in HR – knowing exactly what situations call for a bit of clarity from a doc like this

⏺ It’s 100% compliant with English law AND meets your GDPR requirements too

⏺ It’s written in PLAIN English to avoid all misunderstandings

⏺ If the law changes, you get access to future updated versions

⏺ I’m totally here for you if you have any questions after you’ve bought it

MY TOP TIP

💡PLEASE don’t whizz this doc over to your employee via email – without any upfront explanation about what it is, why you're introducing it and why it’s so important 🙏

Allow them time to go through it properly (ideally 30 days) and give them the opportunity to ask you questions. That way, they’re more likely to remember the contents – and as a result – you’ll reduce the number of workplace problems you get in the future.

So, I’m guessing you’re here because you might need a contract for your new employee? Or maybe you've already got employees working for you, who don't have a contract? (One that you're happy with anyway).  

Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Let me tell you a bit more about this Employment Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.  

There are two options to choose from - Full-time employee (working a full week) or a part-time employee (working fewer hours per week e.g. 3 days per week or 3 hours, five days per week). 

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR AN EMPLOYEE

Well firstly, it's the law. Since 1 April 2020, you have to give all new employees a contract on their first working day. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you, i.e. their hours of work, holidays etc.

But, another important reason is that if things ever did go sour with your employee, or they tried to screw you over, this is the number one document that can make or break your business.

In this template, it covers the following situations, and many more:

😡 Confidentiality - so they can't share your strategies and secrets

😢 Non-compete agreements - in case they get poached by your competition

💬 Clarity - to prevent misunderstandings over what they’re entitled to

😈 Intellectual property – so YOU own this and not your employee

💷 Caveats - to avoid paying employees when you shouldn’t have to

⚖ GDPR - so you comply with the law by getting consent to hold their data

🤔 Probation periods - just in case things don't work out 

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive job offer letter and Employment Contract Template, is instantly emailed to you in Microsoft Word format. It's 100% compliant with the laws of England and is designed to protect you and your business if things were ever to go horribly wrong. And when the law changes, and I update this template, you'll get the new version for free. 

👉 Plus, you'll get my easy-peasy instructions on how to personalise your contract, along with notes and FAQs. These explain the very important clauses and how they’ll protect you – as well as how to send it your employee and what they need to do.

Voxer is a “walkie talkie” app that allows you to send text and voice notes back and forth - similar to WhatsApp, but for business. It’s free to use.

Here's how this service works. 

1. You choose a date for your Day of Voxer and purchase this service 📅

You don’t need to free your calendar for this. This is a flexible and friendly service, and fits around your day. You can ask as many questions as you want between 9am and 5pm on the day you book and I will aim to reply to your message as quickly as I can. 

You just need to think about what you want to get out of our time together (I will ask in advance what you want to achieve after purchase) and make sure you have enough time between your daily activities to listen and reply to messages - as well as the mental space to process and take notes.

Please note I only run two of these sessions each month, and I may be able to move things around if you want some support on a specific date that's not showing as available. I am very flexible about rescheduling if you need to). 

Then, add to your basket and purchase your day of Voxer. 

2. We set you up on Voxer and plan what you want to get out of the session 📱

If you don’t have a Voxer account, I'll show you how to create one - it’s free.

We’ll add each other on Voxer, and I'll send you a questionnaire to understand what you want to get out of the meeting in advance. This way, we can dive right in when your day starts.

3. When your Day of Voxer comes, you’ll have access to me from 8am to 4pm UK time ⏰ 

Don’t worry - this isn’t a 8 hour long chat, and you’re not expected or supposed to be sitting by your phone waiting for replies.

We’ll be exchanging messages throughout the day at a steady yet relaxed pace.

The best thing about a Day of Voxer is that you have space in between messages to mull things over and take action.

That’s part of what makes a Day of Voxer so great.

Picking the right person for the job, is one of the most important things you’ll ever have to do. 

Choose wisely – and your new recruit will help you to reach the summit of success 🌄But, choose badly – and you’ll have wasted heaps of time and money 😠 Just ask any business owner who’s made this mistake, and they’ll show you their war wounds!

To help YOU bag yourself a star employee, ❤ I’ve put all my tricks and tips into this interviewing toolkit. It provides a thoughtful, structured approach to interviews (and makes you look super professional, even it it's your FIRST time interviewing. Check it out below 👇

✔ An interview schedule template, so you can organise all your interview slots

✔ Nine email templates, to send to your candidates (to invite them to an interview and let them know they haven't been successful)  

WHY YOU NEED THIS TOOLKIT

✔ It's super easy to use. You get instant access as soon as you’ve paid online

✅ I’ve done ALL the work for you. Plus, it’s informed by 18 years of HR experience.

• I want to hire someone amazing. So how do I write great job advert?
• Help! I've tried everything but I can't find the right person for my job!
• I'm the CEO of a Tech Startup. How can an HR Consultant help me?

All purchases are subject to these terms.

Loads of small business owners use the services of self-employed contractors or freelancers. They’re a great way to bring specific expertise into your company, without having to recruit a permanent employee.  

You can’t use them forever though – otherwise HMRC could be on your back for IR35 (where they think you have a disguised employee)!

So, when the time comes to part company, make sure you’re protected from any negative repercussions that could crop up in the future. For example, I’ve come across contractors claiming they weren’t told an agreement had ended, leaving the small business owner with an unexpected invoice to settle months later 😱

WHY THIS LETTER IS SUPER IMPORTANT

It’ll better protect you from:

💷 Any future misunderstandings over money owed.

⚠ It serves as a reminder to your contractor or freelancer – of any contract obligations they still may have, even if they’re no longer working for you. For example, a non-compete agreement where you’ve specified they can’t work for one of your competitors. Or, an intellectual property clause, that spells out who owns any assets they may have created for you – like a logo for example.

💯 It’s 100% compliant with English law.

👌 It makes you look MEGA professional.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

✔ After you’ve paid, a link will be emailed to you in a jiffy – so you can download the letter – which comes in Microsoft Word format.

✔ You can top and tail it, so it reflects your own brand identity with your logo.

✔ You can re-use it again and again – as you go on to hire more self-employed contractors or freelancers.

✔ If you’ve any queries after you’ve purchased my letter – I’m totally here for you!

MY TOP TIP

👌 If you’re parting company on great terms – which I’m sure you are – use this letter as a prop to formally wrap things up, and thank your contractor for what they’ve done for you. In my experience, self-employed contractors and freelancers are very well connected – simply because of the nature of their work status. So, this could be an opportunity for them to be an advocate of your brand ❤

Knowing what to say when an employee tells you they are pregnant, can be a dilemma. On on hand, you are delighted for them. But on the other, you're thinking about how you'll cope without them and the hassle of finding their replacement.  

So, with all this to think about, the last thing you'll need is to be scrambling around trying to find the right words, writing letters from scratch and figuring out all the steps you need to take, to comply with the law. 

Instead, take the easy option and use my pre-written templates (checklists, letters, forms etc). to save HOURS of time and reduce your STRESS levels!

👉There's a choice of contracts to choose from. If you’re not sure what you need, I can advise. The choice includes: Employment Contract (full-time employee), Employment Contract (part-time employee), Employment Contract (fixed-term e.g. maternity cover or a project), Zero Hours Contract, Contract for Services (for sole traders, freelancers, or limited companies), Virtual Assistant (VA) Contract, Contracts for Interns, and Apprenticeship Agreements.

THE PROCESS IS SUPER EASY

💻 Once you’ve paid online, I’ll whizz over a questionnaire to you via email. This is designed to capture all the information I need from you – including any existing contracts or policies you might have – so I can weave my magic on your HR docs.

📹 Once I’ve created all your people paperwork and sent it over to you – we’ll have a video call. This is to walk you through everything I’ve done – and why I’ve included some very important clauses, and how they’ll protect you. Alternatively, I can create a bespoke video for you to watch in your own time.

📅You’ll then have 14 days to digest it all, and suggest any further amends. I’m more than happy to make unlimited changes for you in that period.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

⏺ The contract template I create for you will be based on my 18 years’ experience in HR and the commercial world. In other words, I know exactly the types of nightmare employee situations that might crop up and cause your life a misery and I'll build in anything you're worried about.

⏺ It will be in your font and colours with your own logo, reflecting your business personality. 

⏺ And what’s more, everything I provide you will be written in plain English, devoid of all legal jargon and I'll go through and explain it all to you. Too often, employers and their staff sign up to things they don’t fully understand. This could land you in a whole heap of trouble 😱
