Clear, direct answers regarding our service scope, pricing frameworks, UK employment law compliance, and turnaround times.
What HR services does Cypress Global HR offer?
We provide comprehensive HR consultancy across two operational pillars: Employee Services (employment contracts, employee handbooks, dispute resolution, sickness and absence management, recruitment, and performance appraisals) and Business Services (HRIS software implementation, change management, organizational design, HR strategy, CQC regulatory audit defense, and workforce analytics).
How does Cypress Global HR protect businesses from Employment Tribunal claims?
We ensure strict statutory alignment with the Employment Rights Act 1996, Equality Act 2010, and the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. By establishing legally audited contracts, transparent investigation pathways, and meticulous paper trails, we defend employers against claims of unfair dismissal, discrimination, or breach of contract.
What is your pricing structure: ad-hoc or retainer?
We provide tailored, flexible pricing models with no hidden fees. Businesses can engage us on an ad-hoc basis for specific projects (such as drafting an employee handbook or handling a sensitive disciplinary investigation), or on a predictable monthly retainer package for unlimited day-to-day HR advisory and continuous tribunal defense.
How quickly can you respond to urgent workplace disputes or grievances?
We understand that employee relations emergencies cannot wait. Our retained clients receive direct telephone access to a dedicated senior HR consultant with guaranteed under-24-hour response times, and same-day triage on critical gross misconduct or suspension situations.
Do you assist healthcare providers with CQC inspections?
Yes. We have specialized expertise supporting Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated providers. We perform pre-audit staff file inspections, verify statutory training records, check right-to-work and DBS documentation, and draft formal regulatory submissions in full alignment with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
