PROBLEM
As an HR professional, what
resolutions could I adopt for 2016?
LAW
Employment laws change frequently
and HR professionals can find it difficult to keep up with changes.
There is also the burden of general housekeeping to ensure
personnel files are compliant and up to date; a task which can be
particularly difficult in the hospitality sector given the high
turnover of staff.
ADVICE
There are lots of areas where
improvements can usually be made to HR practices. Consider the
thinking points below and perhaps chose three goals to improve upon
in 2016.
CHECKLIST
1. Right to Work
Have you checked, and importantly,
evidenced each of your employees' right to work in the UK?
Usually taking a copy of their passport is sufficient for such
purposes. Failure to do this can result in both civil and criminal
proceedings.
