I wish to wholeheartedly back the outstanding service provided by Kate Hughes of Tonic HR.
I am currently hiring a new member of staff and was not looking forward to the minefield of red tape that accompanies such an exercise. In fact, the legislation and paperwork side had put me off for a number of months.
Kate not only made the experience straight forward and fast but it was actually enjoyable moving my business forward knowing I had all the boxes ticked and all bases covered in the same way a larger employer would have.
Tonic HR provided me with:
1. Accurate advice and the subsequent confidence to push on with my employment plan.
2. Help with and example interview questions
3. An offer of emplyment letter
4. A comprehensive 15 page employment contract
5. A commission scheme contract
6. A grievance policy
7. A disciplinary policy
8. A Personal details form
9. A lot of general help and support throughout
10. And a good after sales service is sure to be there as well
All my documents are bespoke to my business and it gives my new employee the correct and proper impression of my business right from the start.
I didn't feel I was alone in this whereas when I'd employed in the past that's exactly how I felt.
If you're going to hire staff in the future then why leave anything to chance attempting to do it all yourself on the cheap? Call a proficient expert and benefit from peace of mind and a new employee who knows their new employer is in total control. It'll probably cost you a lot less in the long run.

Professional, approachable, calm, reliable and diligent - these are all words that I would use to describe Kate at Tonic HR. She is the sort of supplier that every business likes to work with, in that goes about her work and achieves great results with the minimum of fuss. She is also extremely pleasant to deal with as she is a super person. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tonic HR and Kate Hughes is a must for anyone with their own business, and staff of any kind. Her service is so valuable to the small employer, I would recommend her to anyone with employees, or associates. She gently helps to guide the unwary employer away from pitfalls that could lead to trouble, by giving simple tools, and straight forward advice.
