Employment law assistance
LOCAL businesses are being urged to save time and money on the cost of employing staff, as part of a new campaign.
The Department for Business’ Employing People campaign follows recent research which showed that businesses were spending unnecessary time and money complying with employment law, often outsourcing for expensive advice which they could be getting for free.
Some 50,953 businesses in the region will be contacted to let them know how to make savings by using Business Link’s online tools, calculators and interactive guides, to help them understand their legal obligations and reduce unnecessary duplication of materials and wasted effort.
Employment Relations Minister Pat McFadden said: “Now, more than ever, during tough economic times, every penny counts for businesses.
“Instead of spending money on buying in professional advice on employment law, people can access to a range of quick and easy online documents.”
