Short description	Employ and manage staff in Great Britain: right to work, contracts, pay, holiday, sick pay, family leave, the Acas Code and fair treatment. 50 written lessons plus 10 practice downloads.
Outcomes	Set up as an employer in the right order: right to work checks, PAYE, employers' liability insurance and workplace pensions Tell employees, workers and the self-employed apart, and write a written statement that covers what the law asks for Pay at least the minimum wage, give correct payslips, enrol staff in a pension and work out what an employee really costs Work out holiday for full-time, part-time and irregular-hours staff, pay it correctly and follow the working time rules Manage sickness absence fairly, pay Statutory Sick Pay from day one and hold return-to-work conversations Handle maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave, time off for dependants and flexible working requests Raise performance and conduct concerns early, and investigate fairly when something goes wrong Run disciplinary and grievance procedures step by step following the Acas Code, with letters, companions and appeals Meet your duties under the Equality Act, take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, and cover health and safety and staff records Know the basics of fair dismissal, notice and redundancy, keep up with the Employment Rights Act 2025, and set up HR for a small business as a final project
Requirements	No HR experience needed. The course starts from the day you decide to take on staff Useful if you run, or plan to run, a small business in England, Scotland or Wales; Northern Ireland has its own employment law A way to open PDF files and a spreadsheet app for the holiday calculator; a printer helps but isn't essential The course explains rules and the Acas Code and isn't legal advice, so you'll call the Acas helpline or an employment solicitor for your own situation
