CONTRACTS & POLICY CONSULTANCY

they comply with the most recent legislation and are practical for the needs
of your business. We will provide a detailed report, suggesting any
changes you should make and give advice so that you can follow ‘good
practice’ in the terms and conditions you offer staff. We specialise in the

RIGHTS TRAINING
Pay & Employment
Rights Service (PERS) has an
established reputation for providing ‘tailored’ and ‘off the peg’ courses to
a range of audiences on aspects of the law and good practice with regard to
rights and responsibilities at work. Recent courses have
focused on:
Courses scheduled for 2008 are:

For more information on our scheduled courses for 2008, or to book, please download our training programme
Courses are generally a
combination of information-giving and practical work on realistic cases and
situations, including queries brought by participants themselves. All course
participants are given packs of background information for future reference.
Packs contain PERS’s own employment rights guidance literature and other
publications such as DTI Guides and leaflets. Trainers draw on their wide
experience of the ‘letter of the law’ and on its practical application gained
from dealing with hundreds of enquiries from workers to the PERS Advice
Lines. ‘TAILORED
TRAINING’ PERS can offer training
that is tailored as precisely as possible to the needs and requirements of
participants. We are always happy to discuss these in advance and to adapt
existing courses for your organisation, or design a new course specifically
for your needs. We prefer to train a group
of between 6 and 20 people. We do not have our own training premises and
require a room and a flipchart. We welcome the provision of refreshments,
especially on longer courses! Full day (6 hours), 2

presentations and case studies. If you are interested in

Homeworking Unit (WYHU) works with
people who are either doing paid work from home or are looking for such work.
Homeworkers are often isolated and face problems of low pay, lack of
employment status and poor or unsafe working conditions. Our aim is to tackle
these problems, particularly in ways that include homeworkers themselves. We
also work to increase public awareness of the nature and extent of
homeworking. We work across the whole of West Yorkshire covering Bradford,
Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. ADVICE We produce a range of leaflets explaining how people
can look for work to do from home, how to avoid fraudulent homeworking
advertisements (scams) and covering health and safety issues. We also work
with community groups throughout West Yorkshire to provide information and
promote homeworking. Throughout the year we hold information stalls at various
events to promote homeworking and provide information and advice. WYHU works with community
groups and other training providers to support individuals in developing
skills which will enable them to work from home. The types of training that
can be organised include: |
