The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) 2023

 What preventative steps and measures have you taken to prevent sexual harassment in your workplace?

Are you aware – that if you wait to take the necessary preventive steps to prevent sexual harassment and only act after the incident – you could be liable in an Employment Tribunal for a 25% uplift on an award of damages to your worker where your Worker succeeds in a claim for sexual harassment and your business has not complied with the new Preventative Duty.

How we can help you

We can install all relevant contracts, employee handbooks and managerial handbooks. These can be tailored to meet your business needs. We aim to take all the pressure and responsibility of drafting contracts of employment away from you so that you can concentrate on the essential task of running your business. As well as providing you with a contract of employment, employee handbook and managerial handbook, we will also provide you with standard template letters which cover nearly every eventuality.

Most Employment Law Specialists do not provide this information to you unless you ask and only then is disclosed on a case by case basis. At Searchlight, the help you are looking for is already incorporated into your managerial handbook. And, of course, you are always able to speak to us for guidance on any proposed drafted letters.
