Check List Of Legal Requirements

[Deleted member 59730]

Can anyone suggest a list of legal requirements for a small business with 4 employees?

I already think I know most but realised recently that we had stopped doing written payslips when we started paying wages by BACS.

From memory my list is:-

Employee liability insurance - Certificates must be kept for 30 years.

Health and Safety - apart from the obvious must keep a book to record even minor incidents.

Contract of employment/ job description.

No painkillers to be kept in the first aid box.

Please add others you can think of........

Hi there:
It is hard to provide a definitive checklist without knowing exactly what business that you operate in

eg. if you only have 4 employees you may not need a written H&S policy - although it is good practise to have this from the onset, but if you are operating in safety critical sectors then your H&S policy and procedures will need to be more robust

If you would like assistance, to ensure that you get this right first time, then please do nto hesitate to email me - [email protected] or send me a PM

Hope this helps

Hi,

Employment law is just one of the many areas that you'll need to consider - others include:

• data protection law (you will be collecting and storing data about your employees),
• trading disclosures (name of business etc - this will vary slightly depending on whether the business is run as a limited company, partnership or sole trader)
• Companies Act / Partnership Act / Limited Liability Partnership Act may apply (see previous comment)
• Sale of goods / supply of services law

There will be other heads , but these are a good starting point. The nature of your business may also trigger some specialist laws / regulations.

You can probably find out the basics by doing a Google search. However, if you would prefer a tailored report summarising the key legal issues you need to be aware of in relation to your business, our panel members have provided similar reports in the past for as little as £350 + VAT.

Hope this helps.
