Are employment law, HR and Health and Safety issues taking your eye off the business ball?
When you set up in business you did it to follow your passion; to live your dream. You didn’t ever imagine that you might be facing a tribunal with one of your staff; needing employment law advice or having to jump through regulatory HR or Health and Safety hoops. But you are.
Have you had enough of employment law, compliance and regulatory challenges?
No matter where you turn, there seems to be employment law, compliance or regulatory issues lurking around the corner. You want to get on and do what you do best – run your business. For sure you do what you can in-house to keep these things under control, but underneath you know you need more structured support.

There’s no need to struggle on alone. It’s time to get help.
Employment Law
If you’re an employer tormented by issues surrounding holiday pay, maternity leave, tribunal claims or representation; or dismissing a staff member guilty of misconduct, we can help. And if you’re an employee facing issues with your contract of employment or tribunals, we can help you too.
Benefit from our Specialist Employment Law advice which ranges from initial issue through to tribunal representation. Or take advantage of our training in specialist areas such as instruction sheets for guidance on key topics, and letter and agenda templates.
Business Services
If you’re looking to form a company, make your business a limited company or need general secretarial services, then this service is for you. Perhaps you need a plain-English explanation of legal documents or Terms of Business or Contracts. Or it may be GDPR advice and support you’re in search of?
When you choose RPL, no matter how new to business you are, or how unsure you are about what to do or how to do it to stay compliant, we’re here for you. Working with us is a great, affordable way to make sure you don’t unknowingly make an expensive mistake.
Health & Safety at Work
Has there been an accident and you don’t know what to do? Are worried about a Health and Safety inspection? Do you need a risk assessment carried out? Are you unsure of what you need to provide for Health and Safety? Or is someone asking for details of your Health and Safety arrangements?
At RPL we understand the confusion, fear and frustration that comes with Health and Safety legislation. We understand that you need an on-budget and fast solution. That’s why we provide the affordable support you need, exactly when you need it.
HR
No matter whether you have 5 or 500 staff, it makes great sense to outsource your HR. Even with an in-house HR function there are times when you need additional help. Engaging the right support is a great way to work efficiently and cut costs. At RPL we reduce the stress and worry surrounding HR. With HR legislation changing all the time, it’s a real boost knowing that you have the right people on side, when and if you need us.

Paralegal
As an SME owner, there are times when you need someone to look over a contract for you or someone to write an “official” letter for one reason or another.
Your options are to go to a solicitor and pay the large fees that come with that decision or spend hours trawling through various online sources in the hope of making sense of the jargon which is long winded and often impossible to understand.
When you find yourself in this situation, RPL has the ideal solution. Our friendly and efficient Paralegal service means can avoid the large fees that come from working with a solicitor, AND you get the right result.
