Employment law is changing rapidly, and for owner-managed SMEs it can be difficult to keep up while also running a business. From recruitment decisions to payroll compliance, even small mistakes can carry significant cost and risk. Our upcoming seminar, The Employer Survival Guide, has been designed to give business owners clear, practical guidance that can be applied immediately.
This relaxed, informative session is aimed specifically at SMEs who want to understand the latest developments in employment law without the jargon or unnecessary complexity. We will walk you through what has changed, what is coming next, and what it means for your business on a day-to-day basis.
What the seminar will cover
The session will take a real-world, end-to-end look at the employment journey, including:
- Recruitment and onboarding responsibilities
- PAYE, payroll and pension obligations
- Managing employees compliantly and confidently
- Understanding where risk sits in your business
- Reducing administrative burden while staying compliant
Rather than focusing on theory, the discussion will centre on practical examples and common scenarios faced by owner-managed businesses. The aim is to give you no‑nonsense guidance you can actually use, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
Expertise you can rely on
The seminar is supported by E&P Services, specialists in employment and payroll solutions, working alongside Beem Recruitment and a dedicated HR consultancy partner. Together, the collaboration offers a rounded and realistic perspective on employment from attraction and recruitment through to HR management and payroll compliance.
E&P Services engage workers on a contract of employment rather than a contract for services, taking responsibility for PAYE, National Insurance, holiday pay and pension obligations. This approach helps businesses reduce payroll overheads, limit exposure to HMRC risk and ease the ongoing administrative burden.
The team works closely with tax accountants and employment lawyers to ensure full compliance with current legislation. Ongoing reviews of employment and tax regulations provide added reassurance, alongside support with HMRC or third‑party enquiries should they arise.
For many SMEs, this joined‑up approach offers flexibility, peace of mind around IR35, and the freedom to focus on core business activity rather than compliance pressures.
Who should attend?
This seminar is ideal for:
- Owner‑managed SMEs
- Business owners and directors responsible for recruitment and employment decisions
- Organisations navigating recent employment law changes
- Employers seeking to simplify HR and payroll processes
Whether you employ a small team or are planning to grow, this session will help you understand your responsibilities and make informed decisions with confidence.
