How it works Once you sign up to BMF Employmentfirst you will be initially contacted by your adviser to discuss the service with you. An audit questionnaire will then be emailed to you to obtain details for the content of your new company handbook and staff contracts of employment. This will subsequently be discussed over the phone.

You will receive in electronic format or hard copy as agreed, a new or updated employment manual and personalised employment contracts as required.

As an option and at a negotiated additional cost, an on site full HR systems setup service will be available if you need your procedures to be set up from scratch as manual and/or electronic systems.

Hands-on support will be available at additional cost for instances of serious employment dispute and for Employment Tribunal representation. We reserve the right to recommend that you take formal legal representation if it seems it appropriate to do so.

Employment Law training will be offered in conjunction with the BMF Training Department. Fees for such training will be negotiated independently of this Agreement.
