We provide an unparalleled selection of model policies to help you create and maintain a staff handbook for your organisation.
Without the use of XpertHR, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week
On 11 April 2024, the Government announced that it is not planning to introduce statutory domestic abuse leave - although the right to this type of leave is planned for Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, just 10.4% of respondents to our recent research on non-statutory family-related leave grant paid domestic abuse leave, with the median number of days' leave given being eight. Whether or not your organisation offers this type of leave, a Supporting staff experiencing domestic abuse policy can form a valuable part of an employer's gender equality initiatives, especially as the workplace can provide one of the few safe spaces where domestic abuse victims can draw on support.
