Retained HR Support & Services | Blue Tree HR Solutions

Retained HR Support

Do you require regular, retained HR support, but not enough to justify employing someone full-time? Or does your existing HR manager often need additional help with certain situations? If you have answered yes to either of these questions then Blue Tree HR Solutions retained HR support packages are the ideal choice for you.

By choosing one of our retained HR support packages you will enjoy a dedicated HR manager who will learn the ins and outs of your business, and who will always be on hand to help you with your day-to-day HR needs. You will have expert, retained HR support when you need it, without incurring the cost of employing a full-time HR manager.

With most businesses, there is always HR that needs resolving. For example, you may have a new starter and you need an offer of employment (with the relevant forms), and then a contract of employment. Then next month you may have someone on long-term sick leave and you require support managing the situation. As an employer, you never know what is going to come up, but you can almost guarantee that there will always be something that requires some professional, retained HR support.

FAQs

What is the best way to manage staff holidays?

We have been partners of BreatheHR for seven years and despite reviewing and working with various other softwares, we highly recommend the BreatheHR platform to all businesses for managing their employees holiday.
It is very simple to use and great value and it makes managing holiday easy.

What do I need to give a new employee upon hiring?

All employers are legally required to provide any employee with a written statement of particulars either on, or ideally before, their first day of employment. This legal document sets out the new employee’s terms and conditions of their employment.

Please note that a written statement of particulars is NOT a contractual agreement unless a signed copy is given back to the employer. For more advice on employment contracts, contact our expert HR team.

How do you know how much HR support I will need?

Every business is different, so we will assess your specific HR requirements on a case-by-case basis. However, as a general rule of thumb, we would usually recommend 2 ½ hours per month for businesses with less than 20 employees. For larger businesses with more than 20 employees the likelihood of increased HR support
