Protect your organisation. Treat people fairly.
Employment law is relevant throughout Wales and establishes straightforward obligations for every employer. The contracts, policies and everyday decisions need to comply with the law and to be applied consistently throughout your organisation. We offer employment law services to businesses located within South Wales and across Wales, offering employers straightforward employment law advice and practical steps that can be implemented straight away.
Why Employment Law Services Matters
Good practice begins with documentation that complies with the law and processes that people can rely on when under pressure to perform. If policies and practices become outdated or records unkept, it is more likely employment disputes will arise and time is then lost to investigations.
At Key Group Services we provide practical advice concerning actual workplace issues and not as a matter of theory. You will receive legal advice on what the law states and what your managers need to do next, keeping employees on track with fair treatment and control of risk.
Our Employment Law Services Services
Contracts, Policies and Handbooks
We draft and review contracts, handbooks and policies to ensure they are compliant with existing employment law. Work will entail contract terms, restrictive covenants, confidentiality, family leave, conduct and procedures that stand up at tribunal hearings.
Disciplinary, Grievance and Investigations
We provide advice upon compliance around fair workplace investigations, disciplinary hearings and appeal hearings. Templates for letters, notes and outcomes will ensure a consistent approach to meetings and decisions, compliant with the law. Also, as required, we can shadow HR teams and line managers with live disciplinary cases requiring instant attention.
Redundancy, Restructuring and TUPE
We advise employers on the procedure for redundancy consultations, selection criteria and communications. Records will demonstrate how decisions were made and how employees were treated fairly.
Discrimination and Workplace Behaviour
We provide advice on discrimination, harassment and victimisation, including reasonable adjustments and manager training. Having clear processes will assist the company in dealing with issues raised.
Settlement Agreements and Negotiated Exits
We draft settlement agreements and provide advice on the strategy, terms and tax treatment. We will also negotiate where appropriate and supervise the signing of the settlement agreement so both parties understand it.
Employment Tribunal Representation
We will represent employers at the employment tribunal, draft pleadings, witness statements and bundles and advise on the merits of the case. Support will include unfair dismissal, discrimination, wage claims, whistleblowing and any related claim.
Advisory Clinic Sessions
We offer employment advisory clinic sessions to line managers and HR teams at your South Wales offices or virtually. They will be scheduled, confidential and relevant to the current employment law matters. Regular clinic time will help to answer questions before they become disputes and claims.
Training and Briefings
We offer short briefings on any new law and case law updates. Topics could include unfair dismissal, discrimination, settlement agreements, investigations and record keeping.

They go beyond simply telling us yes or no and work with us to provide options on an HR front, whilst visiting site regularly to engage with our employees and help us manage our H&S responsibilities.
