Chamber HR

Chamber HR offers FREE Employment and Health & Safety support through a dedicated HR advice line supported by a comprehensive bespoke website.

 

Due to the increasing burden of employment legislation and the proliferation of "no win no fee" solicitors, dealing with employment issues is becoming increasingly difficult, time consuming and costly.

 

Sound familiar? Then Chamber HR will help you get the advice and documentation you need to implement good HR practice.

 

Did you know?

·        If you employ at least one person you need a compliant Contract of Employment and a Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure

·        If you have 5 or more employees you have a statutory duty to have a compliant health & safety policy

·        Over 100,000 applications are made to employment tribunals every year!

 

As a result Cumbria Chamber of Commerce have teamed up with Qdos Consulting and Composite Legal Expenses to provide the Chamber HR human resource solution as part of your membership benefits.

 

Chamber HR is a complementary service to Chamber Legal Expenses & Advice Line. This means not only will you receive proactive advice through Chamber HR but also reactive insurance to cover the cost of representation and awards in respect of Employment Tribunal claims.

 

Chamber HR affords Chamber Members access to:

  • Over 150 downloadable policies, forms, documents, letters, templates and fact sheets
  • Unlimited FREE access to a 24 hour, seven day Human Resource and Health & Safety Advice Line
  • A compliant Contract of Employment
  • A compliant Employee Handbook
  • A compliant Health & Safety Policy
  • A description of the law and considerations relating to the major pieces of legislation covering Employment Law and Health & Safety
  • Preferential rates for bespoke Human Resource and Health & Safety Consultancy

One Chamber member used to pay £66 a month to access a similar HR service, this fee was calculated on turnover and employee numbers.

 

To access the Chamber HR Advice Line telephone 02920 349614 and inform them that you are a member of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.

Certain documents require a user name and password before you are able to download them, these will be provided to fully paid up members of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce. If you need to request a user name and password please call 0845 226 0040.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Essentially the helpline is a conduit to legal advice. The insured can contact the helpline at any time to run through advice matters over the phone. In support of the phone service is the Chamber HR website. The website contains FAQ’s, documents for download etc. this is of course free to use for each member.

 

If a member wanted to go beyond the above and ask the helpline to review documents/attend disciplinary hearings they have then this would be consultancy work not covered by the policy.
