About this Event
Running a small business is hard, and HR compliance can feel overwhelming — but getting it wrong is expensive. From incorrect contracts to mishandled disciplinaries, many SMEs don’t realise they’ve breached employment law until it’s too late.
This practical, interactive training course gives SME owners and managers the tools and confidence to manage HR safely, legally, and effectively.
Delivered by an experienced CMZ-HR Independent HR Consultant, the session breaks down compliance into simple steps you can apply immediately — no jargon, no legal lectures, just real-world advice for real-world businesses.
By the end of this session, you’ll know how to:
✔ Issue legally compliant contracts and policies
✔ Manage recruitment, interviews and Right to Work checks
✔ Calculate holiday pay correctly (including part-time & irregular hours)
✔ Handle sickness absence fairly and legally
✔ Conduct investigations and disciplinaries safely (ACAS-compliant)
✔ Distinguish between conduct and performance issues
✔ Meet GDPR and data protection obligations
✔ Recognise the “red flags” that put SMEs at risk
✔ Document HR issues correctly to avoid tribunal claims
You will leave with practical templates, checklists and guides you can use immediately.
This training is ideal for:
- SME owners and directors
- Managers and team leaders
- Office managers and administrators
- HR assistants in growing companies
- Anyone responsible for people management in a small business
No prior HR experience required. Perfect for busy managers who want clarity and confidence.
