Redundancy
and Restructuring
If your business needs redundancy or restructuring support, our experienced team can guide you through the whole process, and ensure you do it in safely, legally and in a way that protects your best interests.
We’ll help you follow a fair and legal process, and hold your hand every step of the way.
Employment
Contracts
If you’re not issuing valid contracts to your team, you’re immediately starting from a position of weakness, and if anything goes wrong, you’re almost certain to lose.
And getting a contract right is easier said than done, which is why downloading a template off Google or asking a business owner friend to send you theirs, which you can tweak, isn’t a smart move.
We can draft contracts for you that set out clear expectations and obligations from both parties, and because we’re on your side, we’ll make sure they’re reflective of what you need, and what’s important to you, while still being fully compliant with UK employment law.
Policies and
Procedures
Without policies and procedures, your business is weak; if you end up in tribunal without them, you’re in trouble.
Our team have decades of experience in drafting policies that let your employees know what’s expected of them, and allow you to ensure your team are operating in line with your aims and ethos.
Procedures go hand-in-hand with policies, specifying what needs to happen in order to comply with certain policies.
A few examples of the most common policies we produce
- Maternity/paternity/parental leave
- Redundancy
- Equality and diversity
- Discipline, capability and grievance
- Welling
- Bullying and harassment
- Drugs and alcohol
- Social media
Employee
Handbook
An employee handbook is essential for protecting your business and ensuring your team understands their rights and responsibilities. It sets clear expectations, helps prevent disputes, and keeps you legally compliant with UK employment law.
In it, you’re able to set out everything they’ll need to know about their employment with you, from what they should do when planning annual leave, through to how to call in sick.
At J Mann Associates, we take the hassle out of creating a handbook by writing and tailoring it specifically to your business. Our expert team ensures it covers all key policies, procedures, and legal requirements—giving you peace of mind that your HR foundations are watertight.
Disciplinary and
Performance Management
Hiring staff is great, until it’s not, and managing performance and dealing with disciplinary issues is not what most of us went into business for.
But it’s the reality of running a business, and when you work with J Mann Associates, we ensure that it’s done by the book, protecting your business while still allowing you control to run it in the way that’s best for you.
Whatever you’re facing, chances are we’ve got experience in it,
and can help guide you through it.
Other HR Services We Can Help With
Grievance
Any employee that has a problem at work is able to raise a formal grievance, and as an employer you must then investigate the grievance by following a fair process.
To ensure you protect your business you need to follow the correct process. To talk about a particular grievance or get help on what to do next, just book a call on this page.
Long Term Sickness
When an employee is on long term sick it can have a serious impact on the business, but as a business owner, it can be really hard to know what you can and can’t do.
To talk about long-term sick, get help for a specific issue, just book a call on this page and we’ll be happy to help.
Tupe
The HR processes involved in a TUPE transfer are detailed and time-consuming. Getting it wrong can be very costly.
TUPE regulations protect employees' rights when they transfer to a new employer. TUPE stands for Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations.
If you're thinking of acquiring a business, if you want some information about TUPE, then book a call on this page, and we’ll be happy to talk through your various options.
How we work

Retainer - HR advice and support when you need it

I had the pleasure of working with Jacqui and her team for over ten years on a variety of topics, including TUPE, business acquisitions and disposals, corporate HR strategy, and both proactive and reactive HR matters.
