Employer Advisory Consultation
1 Hour Ad Hoc Advice Call
£45.0060 min
Online Meeting
This paid consultation offers employers a deeper, more focused level of HR support than our free introductory chat. It is designed for situations where you need to talk through a real employee issue, sense check your approach, and leave with clear, compliant next steps.
The session is advisory only. It includes tailored guidance and a written follow up summary, but does not include drafting employee letters, emails or formal documents.
What you can use the consultation for:
• Talking through an employee issue such as disciplinary or grievance concerns, performance management, sickness absence, contract changes, flexible working or general people management challenges.
• Understanding your legal obligations and the risks involved, with clear, practical recommendations to support decision making.
• Sense checking a proposed approach before you act, particularly where the situation is sensitive or has the potential to escalate.
• Reviewing an existing document, policy or contract and advising on what may need to change, without redrafting it.
• Clarifying options and agreeing realistic next steps that balance legal compliance with commercial priorities.
What is not included:
This consultation does not include drafting or amending employee correspondence, contracts, policies, handbooks or other formal documentation. Where drafting support is required, this will be quoted separately and agreed in advance.
What to expect:
Once booked, you will receive a confirmation email and the option to share brief background information or relevant documents ahead of the session. This allows the time to be used efficiently and focused on advice rather than fact finding.
Following the consultation, you will receive a short follow up email summarising the key points discussed and the recommended next steps.
Who this is for:
• Small businesses, start ups and growing organisations who want clear, compliant HR advice without committing to ongoing support.
• Owners and managers who need practical, straight talking guidance on an employee issue and want reassurance before taking action.
Outcome:
You will leave with clarity on your position, confidence in your next steps, and a written summary to refer back to. The aim is to reduce risk, avoid unnecessary escalation, and help you move forward quickly and decisively.
These terms apply to all consultation hour bookings made with Saltwater HR Ltd. By booking a session you agree to these terms.
Scope of service
A consultation hour provides advisory guidance and support with short form documentation. Drafting within the hour is limited to brief documents such as letters, meeting notes, scripts or updates to your own templates. More extensive work including contracts, policies, handbooks and detailed frameworks falls outside the scope of the hour and will be quoted separately. Any additional work beyond the hour will be chargeable at the standard ad hoc rate and will only proceed with your agreement.
Booking and payment
Payment is required at the point of booking unless otherwise agreed in writing. Bookings are confirmed once payment has been received.
Cancellations and rescheduling
You may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours are chargeable in full. If you do not attend the session the fee remains payable. Should Saltwater HR need to cancel or reschedule, alternative dates will be offered as soon as reasonably possible.
Preparation and documentation
You are responsible for providing accurate background information and any relevant documents in advance. Any advice or drafting will rely on the information provided and cannot account for information not disclosed.
Advice and limitations
All guidance is provided in good faith based on UK employment law and HR best practice at the date of the consultation. The service does not constitute legal advice. Responsibility for decisions made following the session remains with you.
Confidentiality
All information shared will be treated as confidential except where disclosure is required by law or where you provide written consent.
Data protection
Personal data will be processed in accordance with Saltwater HR’s privacy policy and current data protection legislation.
Deliverables
Saltwater HR will use reasonable efforts to complete short form documents within the session using your templates where applicable. If this is not possible, or if the work required is more extensive than permitted within the hour, this will be discussed with you and additional costs agreed before proceeding.
Intellectual property
Documents created by Saltwater HR remain the intellectual property of Saltwater HR until payment is received in full. Once paid, you may use the documents internally within your business only.
Suitability of service
The consultation hour is intended for advisory matters and light documentation. Complex cases or substantial drafting may require separate project based support.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
