Common questions

HR questions from Flint employers, answered.

For advice about a live situation, speak to our team in confidence.

What HR documentation does a small Flint business need?

Employees and workers must receive a written statement of employment particulars, with the principal statement provided on or before their first day. Employers with five or more employees must also record their health and safety policy in writing. Clear disciplinary and grievance procedures help employers follow a fair process and the Acas Code.

Can Dekela support our business on site in Flint?

Yes. Dekela is based in Ruthin and supports employers across Flint, Oakenholt and the wider Flintshire area. Advice and meetings can be provided remotely or in person where appropriate to the work agreed.

How should we manage repeated or long-term sickness absence?

A consistent absence policy, accurate records and appropriate return-to-work conversations can help identify patterns and support employees. For longer-term absence, employers may need medical information, consultation and reasonable-adjustment or capability considerations before making decisions.

Can we dismiss an underperforming employee during probation?

A probation clause does not remove an employee’s legal protections. Employers should check the contract, investigate the facts, explain the concerns, follow a fair process and give the correct notice. Discrimination and automatically unfair dismissal risks can arise regardless of length of service.

Do Dekela’s retained HR services require a long contract?

Dekela’s retained support operates on a rolling 30-day basis, subject to the agreed terms and notice arrangements. HR On-Demand and fixed-cost project support are also available if a monthly retainer is not the right fit.
