LEGAL EAGLE: Time is ticking for employers to make difficult decisions

We have seen many enquiries from businesses of all sizes with regard to the Government’s Job Retention Scheme.

Whilst the announcement and principle of the Scheme was welcomed by the vast majority of businesses, the delay in producing clear guidance has led to confusion and uncertainty.

Some questions about how the Scheme will operate in practice remain unanswered and time is ticking for employers to make difficult decisions in order to protect their business and jobs.

Reports in the press and on social media often contain conflicting messages.

Here at Tilly Bailey & Irvine we have specialist solicitors who can provide bespoke advice to employers in relation to the options open to them, including the requirements currently set out to comply with the Job Retention Scheme.

For a fixed fee of between £300-£500 plus VAT (depending on the number of employees), we will provide bespoke advice to you over the telephone or email together with the necessary documentation to complete with your employees, in order to comply with current guidance on the Job Retention Scheme.

Call or email Partner Alison Leith on 01740 646031 or [email protected] to discuss legal matters and the Job Retention Scheme.

We are currently not offering face-to-face meetings with clients from our Hartlepool Solicitors office in line with government guidance on social distancing.
