The 5 HR Mistakes that Trigger Tribunals and Legal Battles in SME Businesses

Why SMEs choose the HR Doctor app?

Avoid the £16,000 to £45,000 unfair dismissal claim that follows a botched redundancy process. The app gives you the Redundancy Roadmap Blueprint so you navigate one of the highest-risk HR processes without triggering a legal battle.

Prevent the £25,000 to £100,000 discrimination claim that starts with a poorly worded job advert or an unstructured interview. The Hiring Process Blueprint shows you exactly how to recruit legally from advert to offer letter.

Stop the £16,000 to £35,000 constructive dismissal claim that builds when you mishandle a grievance, performance issue, or workplace conflict. The app includes a fortnightly HR briefing that highlights the issues most likely to catch SMEs out, explained in plain English so you know what to do next.

Identify gaps, risks, and priorities across your people processes using the in-app HR health check. Most SME business leaders believe they are compliant until they face their first tribunal. The health check shows you where the hidden risks are.

Make confident decisions using practical, step-by-step guidance grounded in the ACAS Code. The app gives you clarity when you need it, without the invoice.

Save time with ready-to-use blueprints and checklists you can apply immediately to real situations happening in your business today.

The HR Doctor app gives you essential guidance at no cost. When you face a complex issue such as a tribunal threat, discrimination claim, or senior exit, our Senior HR Advisors step in with personalised support.

You only pay when you genuinely need expert help.
