Key Facts

• Review and audit of existing employment and HR documentation
• Day-to-day direct support and advice from a specialist in employment law
• Training, including free attendance at Gorvins’ employment law seminars;
• Tribunal support
• Legal expenses insurance in the event of a Tribunal claim

In a week where the Government announced plans and consultation for a radical shake up of employment laws, Gorvins’ Head of Employment, David Walton, believes that the innovative product is a more immediate and effective means of making employers’ lives easier. “Pathfinder gives businesses of all types and sizes, quick and easy access to tailored practical support and advice from an expert team, at an affordable price.”

The Pathfinder package has five main elements that can be individually tailored to a business’s specific requirements including a review and audit of existing employment and HR documentation; day-to-day direct support and advice from a specialist in employment law; training including free attendance at Gorvins’ employment law seminars; Tribunal support; and legal expenses insurance in the event of a Tribunal claim.

Walton continued: “Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in employment law red tape and claims. The Government have indicated that they are intent on reducing the bureaucratic burden on employers, however, any change in legislation will never be able to relieve employers of the need to deal with problem situations on a day-to-day basis, nor remove the risk of a claim. 

“Employers are finding themselves increasingly overwhelmed by the relentless flow of change, and their freedom to make decisions is often constrained by the fear of a claim from a disgruntled employee. We have always prided ourselves on offering ‘commercial’ advice to employers to achieve their goals, but wanted to package up that more commercial offering into a cost-effective solution for employers, with the reassurance of such advice being backed up with an effective insurance product.

“Pathfinder gives employers access to genuine employment law specialists, who will have taken the time to properly understand your organisation, not just a different voice at the end of the phone every time you call, blinkered by a text book approach. It allows you to budget and plan for employment law support far more easily, with the potential added reassurance of insurance backing.”
