Due to the increasing burden of employment legislation and the proliferation of ‘no win no fee’ solicitors, dealing with employment issues is becoming increasingly difficult, time consuming and costly.

Whether you’re a small business and can’t afford a full time HR professional or if you’re a larger firm and just want to keep up to date with legislation, this service can help you. Best of all it’s free - it’s part of your Chamber membership.

The service offers unlimited access to a 24 hour, seven day Human Resource and Health & Safety advice line and over 150 downloadable policies, forms, documents, letters, templates and fact sheets.

All chamber members are entitled to Chamber HR. Chamber HR is a complementary service to the existing Chamber Legal Expenses Scheme. When you subscribe, you will receive proactive advice through Chamber HR but also reactive insurance to cover the cost of representation and awards in respect of Employment Tribunal claims.

Michael Hobbs, of the Catholic Blind Institute, said: “We were very impressed with the service. I needed some advice on a HR problem and was contacted within 15 minutes of the initial enquiry. The helpline staff were informed, knowledgeable and gave very helpful advice. I would recommend this to other members as it is an excellent service and it is free!!”
