The Cost of getting it wrong
Early intervention with Construction HR Support greatly reduces the cost of getting it wrong and limits the risk of contentious resignations and grievances. Spectra HR will ensure your processes are legally compliant and reduce the risk of a tribunal claim.

In addition, failing to follow due process has the potential to see an award being uplifted by up to 25%.
