- Regular email updates and practical webinars to keep you informed of new case law and other legislative developments that may impact your business.
- Expert support in the event of an employee claim, including handling negotiations with Acas, the Tribunal, the claimant(s) and their advisers, as well as representing you should a case proceed to an Employment Tribunal hearing.
HR Software
WorkNest’s all-in-one HR software system, PeopleNest, is designed to help organisations streamline and automate HR and people management processes.
Many companies, typically as smaller businesses, require an HR system with some important baseline key features, such as having a secure location to store and share employee data and documentation.
PeopleNest provides solid absence management capabilities and an employee portal so that all users can access data and be empowered to initiate certain workflow processes. These actions might include submitting leave requests and timesheets, reviewing documentation updates, or viewing their most recent payslip.
PeopleNest controls risk, reduces administration costs and increases workforce productivity through intelligent workflow automation, whilst delivering all of the tools, information and guidance that a people manager or HR user needs to be effective.
WorkNest’s team of highly experienced litigators have an exceptional track record supporting Employment Tribunal claims, with 95.4% of cases won, settled, struck out or withdrawn.
Protection against Employment Tribunals
With the Employment Law One2One service, you have the option of purchasing additional FCA-regulated Legal Expenses Insurance to cover the cost of Employment Tribunal litigation, including legal representation, awards and settlements.
