FAQ’s
Do you offer HR support services across Berkshire & London?
What are the important HR requirements for a small business?
Starting a business is tough and requires a lot of energy and taking risks. However, investing in having a professionally drafted contract of employment and a staff handbook with your key policies as a minimum will save you a lot of problems and cost with your employees in the long-run and they are not very expensive to draft. We see a number of employers paying a lot of money in tribunals not because they have done something wrong but because they did not follow the correct process or have a proper contract of employment in place.
If we needed help with a one-off HR Support project can Optima HR help?
Do you offer HR support services to small and medium businesses of all sizes?
Yes – Our smallest client has one employee and our largest has just under 100 people. Businesses with five or more employees should seriously consider getting regular HR support and advice. At Optima HR our support services are scaled to the size of our clients so we can give great advice and support cost effectively.

What does Redundancy mean and can Optima HR help us with this process?
There can be confusion as to what is a redundancy – The scenario arises due to:
1) The employer ceasing or intending to cease to carry on the business for the purposes of which the employee was so employed; or
2) the employer ceasing or intends to cease to carry on the business in the place where the employee was so employed; or
3) the requirements of the business for employees to carry out work of a particular kind has ceased or diminished or are expected to cease or diminish; or
4) the requirements of the business for the employees to carry out work of a particular kind, in the place where they were so employed, has ceased or diminished or are expected to cease or diminish. Any proposed redundancy which does not fall into 1 of these 4 definitions will not be a lawful redundancy! A badly executed redundancy without a proper and fair process, including consultation where appropriate, is likely to be classed as an unfair dismissal.
Optima HR has extensive experience of single and collective redundancies so contact us for a free 30-minute consultation to discuss this further.
