Statutory legislation is forever changing, and the penalties for non-compliance can
be severe. Employment legislation is particularly extensive, and keeping up-to-date
with the latest requirements would be extremely time-consuming.
As a result, many Practices – in common with other small businesses – risk litigation,
which could come in the form of an Industrial Tribunal or a Health and Safety Executive
action, prosecution under the Disability Discrimination Act, or other comparable
event.
PriDoc goes much further than the generic packages commercially available from which
‘off-the-shelf' policies etc. can be printed. This is because the system is comprehensive
and fully integrated – so that, for example, the Staff Contracts of Employment automatically
contain all of the individual employee parameters already ‘known' to the system.
The generation of the actual Contracts of Employment that comply with the latest
employment legislation therefore becomes a simple process.
