Common questions, answered.
Is this legal advice?
+
No. The HR People provides practical guidance and templates aligned with current UK employment law. Where a case is complex (for example, a contested dismissal or disability discrimination), we will signpost to a qualified employment solicitor.
Do I need to be HR-trained to use this?
+
Not at all. Everything is written in plain English for owner-managers. If you can run a business with 5–50 staff, you can use The HR People.
What happens when UK employment law changes?

We update affected templates and modules within 14 days of any UK employment law change. Active subscribers are notified automatically.
Is my data safe?
+
Yes. We process the minimum necessary data, store it securely, and you can request export or deletion at any time under UK GDPR.
