HR compliance for Crawley employers

Employment law doesn’t stand still, and the Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA 2025) is bringing some of the biggest changes UK employers have seen in years. For small businesses without an in-house HR specialist, keeping policies and processes up to date can feel like a constant moving target.

We help local businesses stay compliant and confident, covering:

  • Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
  • Maternity, paternity and parental leave
  • Redundancy processes
  • Flexible working requests
  • Unfair dismissal claims
  • Zero-hours contract obligations

We’ll review your current documentation, flag any gaps, and help you put practical, compliant processes in place, so you can focus on running your business.

Yes. Employment law in the UK applies from your very first hire. Small businesses are just as exposed to compliance issues and disputes, so getting things right early matters.
