Small businesses, and especially micro businesses, often lack the resources and expertise in-house to manage human resources effectively, meaning HR is an area that is often overlooked - or avoided - until there’s a problem.
But that leaves business owners asking "What are HR support services?".
Many small businesses sign up for remote HR helplines on expensive long-term contracts or use proformas not tailored to individual circumstances or specific to their business.
Wilkin Chapman’s expertise is on-site whenever businesses need it and is from a trusted, local adviser who really knows and understands their operation.
"Our team of HR specialists can attend formal meetings on-site, including disciplinaries, grievances and ill-health absence meetings and take accurate minutes," said Tracy Rowbotham, employment adviser at Wilkin Chapman Solicitors.
"We will also ensure the process is compliant with both the legislative requirements and internal procedures. Furthermore, our team is on hand to advise on decision-making following internal hearings, providing assistance in formalising written decisions."

What makes Wilkin Chapman’s HR support different?
"Our HR team works alongside employment solicitors, ensuring that all services are in line with statutory legal requirements," said Tracy.
Should internal processes or queries lead to the need for formal legal advice, it can be escalated accordingly to ensure businesses are supported throughout the entire process.
The cost-effective services are fully flexible, allowing businesses to choose the level of support - whether it's helping with a one-off employee problem, quarterly, monthly or weekly visits for management meetings, or providing help and support via phone/email, Wilkin Chapman can create a package that suits your needs.
"So, let us take the worry away from you."
