Filling the GAP in HR services: Dangerous Air Con

Filling the GAP in HR services: Dangerous Air Con

As you probably know, you’ve got a duty of care to provide a safe work place.

But in usual circumstances, the commute to work is another matter – you’ve got no legal obligation to provide a safe commute; it’s up to the employee to discern what’s safe and what’s not.

However, in the current climate, you may need to make “reasonable adjustments” if your employees are in one of the extremely clinically vulnerable groups and they’re concerned about their safety.

The phrase “reasonable adjustments” can mean a whole load of different things, but what it doesn’t mean is allowing an employee not to drive to work in his company car because it doesn’t have air conditioning and it’s “too hot”!

You’ve probably guessed that I haven’t plucked that example out of thin air.

Filling the GAP in HR services: A gym too far

Filling the GAP in HR services: A gym too far

My son Christopher is now 16.

For him, it means he can finally be a “proper” member of the local gym.

The gym is at The Swan – the ‘famous’ hotel from Three Men and a Boat, and they don’t accept under-16s, which means we’ve been driving the 5 miles to Cholsey whenever he wants to go.

But now he’s 16, he can stop relying on me and walk there whenever he wants.

Or so we thought.

14 Day Isolation Letter

The government is announcing instant lockdowns on an almost daily basis on Twitter.

Your staff may have to go into self-isolation after a week in sunny Manchester.

Therefore we recommend giving out this letter to all staff who have a holiday booked in the next month, so that everything is clear before they go.

All staff will need to be paid the same amount, i.e. all take unpaid leave, or all get SSP.

Do not discriminate between departments or full time/part time staff.

     I absolutely enjoyed my recent experience working with Gap HR. There are several aspects of their service that stood out to me. Firstly, their responsiveness is truly remarkable. Gap HR consistently demonstrated the fastest response time to all our communications, which not only streamlined our processes but also instilled a sense of confidence in their support.

Secondly, their expertise in HR solutions for medium and small businesses is unparalleled. Gap HR's in-depth knowledge and experience in this niche are highly valuable. Their ability to navigate the complexities of HR for smaller enterprises is a significant asset and brings peace of mind.

Lastly, the team at Gap HR is an absolute pleasure to work with. Their caring and dedicated approach goes beyond the ordinary, making them not just service providers, but trusted partners. They bring a level of commitment that is truly exceptional, and it's evident that they genuinely care about the success and well-being of their clients.

In summary, Gap HR has become our first and foremost point of contact for any employment law support. Their combination of responsiveness, expertise, and unwavering dedication makes them an invaluable resource in the realm of HR and employment law.

     We are really delighted to have hooked up with Gap HR Services Limited – the team interpreted our brief perfectly and their advice and assistance was delivered in both a pragmatic and professional way. A big THANK YOU to both Carolyne and Cathy who steered us through the legislation with a best practice and smart approach.

Gap HR’s sense of urgency in fulfilment and delivery matched our own so we can do nothing but positively recommend the team for your HR needs.
