TESTIMONIALS

"Clearwater Consulting has always provided us with valuable specialist H.R. advice and support over the past  2 years.
Peter demonstrated a particularly good understanding of the needs and sensitivities of the voluntary/community sector, when he put together a range of employment documents which were easy to understand and use. These were not only well received by the Board but also by the existing staff.
It is reassuring to know I can pick up the phone and get helpful, friendly advice when I need it. "

ADVISORY AND SUPPORT SERVICES

Employment law in Northern Ireland is constantly changing with new legislation and case law being introduced and updated on a regular basis.

The consequences of failing to comply with statutory requirements can be very costly for an employer, in terms of defending a case at an Industrial Tribunal let alone the costs involved should an award be made against the employer.

It only needs one Industrial Tribunal case to cause long term damage to a small employer.
