Is human resource management driving you mad?

Every business should prioritise human resource (HR) management - and companies within the automotive industry are no exception.

Automotive companies often utilise business practices such as commission, zero-hour contacts, and apprenticeships. Whilst these are beneficial, they can create complications when not implemented properly.

And, if this causes you to breach an employee's contract, you could even face legal, financial and reputational damage. But, when time and resources are tight, employment law issues might not be your main concern...

And more.

Ensure your HR's on track with Peninsula's documentation service

Every business must comply with employment law, including those in the automotive industry. Several pieces of legislation outline your legal requirements, including the:. This is a legal requirement for all employers, as risk analysis helps to identify potential hazards on site. For example, safety hazards on a building site may include:

Employment Rights Act 1996.

Equality Act 2010.

In order to meet your obligations, you must provide specific legal documentation. However, if you've never written legal paperwork before, you might struggle to ensure your compliance. As a result, you could breach an employee's contract; which may then lead to legal and financial proceedings.
