ADVICE
independently tackle issues like dismissal, disciplinary, contracts, handbooks, apprentices, despite them lacking knowledge of employment law? Or should you intervene? Your priorities are, fi rstly, brand protection – can you allow one rogue agency to disrupt all the work you have done to build the reputation of the franchise? Secondly, fi nances – can you afford to lose out on the revenue if the franchisee was to go under following a litany
“Specialist services are organised to specifically help employers manage HR and react quickly when problems arise”
of employment tribunal claims? Can you afford not to act?
The bottom line is that a franchisor will only
benefi t if the franchisee is succeeding in all areas of business. It starts and ends with teamwork. One way a franchisor can help their franchisee is with HR direction, which would bring about a reduction in risk and liability as a business. An effi cient and economical solution is to work with a specialist HR and employment law specialist. These specialist services are organised specifi cally to help employers manage their HR and employment operations and react quickly when problems arise. They will often tailor their service to the specifi c requirements of the franchisee, including the delivery of bespoke contracts, a 24/7 HR advice helpline, and health and safety risk assessment checks, plus drafting employment handbooks and policies – the basics that will help the
employer defend their actions in a tribunal court. Payment is often simple. The franchisee pays for the services on a monthly basis, thereby minimising costs. In return, the franchisee is provided with an indemnifi ed service that will help them to sleep more easily at night – all because the franchisor cared enough to refer their franchisees to the right people. The franchisor will see a real benefi t when their franchisees partner with employment specialists. Not only will they receive the assurance that their franchisees are protected from making costly employment mistakes, but they will also begin to enjoy peace of mind, safe in the knowledge that their hard-earned reputational capital wont be ripped apart by employment confl icts. Ask yourself: can you afford to go it alone? n
