Free Resources
So you care for the DIY route? Not a problem, but a few things we should mention: while the links we provide are to official government deparments and/or agencies...
- the policies can be very basic, and don't cover the comprehensive detail that you can get from our policies;
- the policies will require some time to prepare properly;
- we cannot guarantee the quality of these guides, or confirm whether these comply with current legislation;
- our policies are very competitively priced, and provide more protection for employers;
- our policies are written weighted towards the employer, giving you the choice on what to offer employees;
- you are dabbling with the law, and even if you use official sources to prepare your documents, it won't cover you if you are later found to be in the wrong legally.
