FAQs
DO CHARITIES REALLY NEED FORMAL HR SUPPORT?
Yes, it’s a vital support service to ensure you can effectively manage complex people management needs. It’s your duty of care as an employer to manage day-to-day obligations such as supporting employees and managing policies. Failure to do so may result in considerable legal consequences.
CAN HR SOLUTIONS’ SERVICES BE TAILORED TO FIT A CHARITY’S BUDGET?
Yes! Our service is flexible and scalable. You pay a fixed-fee rate for the support you need, but you can adapt these at any time as your organisation grows.
DOES HR SOLUTIONS COVER THE RIGHTS OF BOTH VOLUNTEERS AND EMPLOYEES?
Yes, it’s a vital part of our support packages to provide guidance with this distinction. Employees and volunteers need contracts, policies, and safeguarding. We’re here to guide you through that process to keep your organisation compliant.
HOW CAN HR SUPPORT HELP CHARITIES STAY COMPLIANT WITH EMPLOYMENT LAW?
It works by managing your internal policies, employment contracts, and procedures. These must align with your duty of care as an employer, alongside other employment laws such as The Equality Act 2010. By doing so you reduce the risk of staff disputes, penalties, and employment tribunals.
DO YOU OFFER HR SUPPORT FOR SMALL CHARITIES ?
Yes! No matter your organisation’s size, we’ll support you with our specialist range of services. We can help a team no matter how small your budget is and can help manage overhead and financial planning.

Having moved from a local accountancy firm who use to process my payroll to HR Solutions, I have never been so impressed and relaxed when it comes to the end of the month.
Kay replies within minutes of me processing the hours and deals with any questions or issues I have.
HR solutions and Kay have most definitely made my life so much easier as a business owner.

Rob Coppillie has looked after all of our HR needs for the last few years and his assistance is really valuable to us. He goes the extra mile and always responds quickly and even calls outside of normal working hours on many occasions.
His advice is something I feel gives me the confidence to deal with things that are out of my depth. I would thoroughly recommend Rob to any client for their HR needs.

We had a visit from HSE. They had a look around and then said it was one of the best paperwork (Construction Phase Plan) they had seen for a while! Thanks to both Lauren and Joanne for your help with that.

My association with HR Solutions has now been for almost 4 years, when I was looking for HR advice for a staff TUPE exercise.
To say the entire process was seamless and hassle free would be an understatement. The team kept us in the loop at every step and we had complete clarity of the entire process.
HR Solution’s transparent and detailed approach to HR matters has helped us keep our focus on our core operations. No query/request is ever too big.
Whilst the pricing model can be flexed as per your requirements, the experienced and timely advice has proven invaluable on a number of occasions.
Aftab Jussab, our consultant has comprehensive knowledge about complex employment law and his several years of experience in this field keeps us on the right track always. Not only am I able to discuss any issues with Aftab in an open and friendly manner, the advice has always been practical looking at all circumstances.
I am very happy to recommend HR solution’s service to small and large businesses and will be pleased for my contact details to be shared with others to answer any specific queries from a client’s perspective.
