How we can help you...

Welcome to the Intellect HR Pay As You Go (PAYG) service!

This service allows you to choose and purchase, on-line, the specific documents you require, on a "one-off" basis, or to purchase helpline time on an ad hoc basis. Payment is by credit card through a secure payment server and, once your payment has been authorised, you have immediate access to the helpline or to your chosen documents to download and customise them.

Buying our products couldn't be easier! We have combined many of our documents into a range of practical and cost-effective packages but most documents can also be purchased individually if you prefer.

You can go directly to our alphabetic list of documents and packages or you can use the categorised subject areas below, which give you details of the contents of the main packages. Not every package is listed below, therefore if you cannot find what you want, the best option would be to view our alphabetic list.

You will notice that each product on the PAYG screen has an "access period". Some smaller individual documents can be downloaded at any time within the 24-hour period from the time you purchase it. However, some of the larger packages, for example maternity, recognise the life cycle of the whole process and you are therefore given much longer access periods, of up to 12 months, during which time you can continue to download and customise the documents.

Once you have registered as a PAYG user, you will be issued with a unique user ID, which will be confirmed via email, and which will allow you access to your selected documents.

You may purchase as many, or as few, packages or documents as you wish, and you are given the opportunity to change your mind about any of your purchases at the checkout, prior to submitting your order and credit card details to Worldpay for purchase.

You may also wish to look at our sample documents before you decide to buy from us.

Click on any one of the underlined titles or words (links) in which you are interested. This will take you through to the main PAYG selection screen. Documents and packages related to the subject in which you have shown interest will appear at the top of this screen, but if you scroll further down you can view a list of our entire range of packages and documents, together with pricing information.

Agreement for casual worker: This agreement clarifies the arrangements for casual (ie ad hoc) workers and protects the employer from creating an unintended ongoing employment relationship.

Grievance
	Our procedure and accompanying guidance notes take you through the process of hearing grievances fairly and consistently, avoiding the likelihood of litigation.

Managing people
	The success of your business is dependent upon your managers and supervisors having the skills to manage people effectively. Poor management can lead to lost production, poor quality, dissatisfied customers, low morale, absence, accidents etc. It could also be responsible for claims of harassment, discrimination, bullying and constructive dismissal all of which could result in huge compensation claims by employees. Small organisations cannot afford to take managers out of the business to attend expensive training courses. The solution? Our step by step guides guide you through the maze of managing people to ensure you are legally compliant and are getting the best out of your staff.
	Step by step guides: Training Performance development Delegation Time management Retention Communication Appraisal Motivation	Performance review forms Training and development policy Training and development plan Training record Tuition agreement PLUS Notes on handling poor performers Training requirements - legal issues

Our package shows you how, giving you the information and guidance to do so within the law. This policy also forms part of our absence package detailed above.

Recruitment
	Recruiting the right staff is essential to the success of any business but it is a time consuming, expensive and risky process. The wrong decision can result in disruption to your business as a result of incompetence, poor performance, bad attitude, low morale etc and the inevitable cost of replacing a bad appointment. Recruitment is also a high risk business. You could potentially face a claim of discrimination from applicants. There is no limit on the compensation you could be ordered to pay. How can you get through this minefield and appoint the right person? Our recruitment package guides you through the process. All the documentation, forms and letters you will need are included, from an application form through to making an offer of employment. The package includes:

Your selection criteria, the staff you nominate to be redundant and consultation process will all fall under scrutiny. Our package will guide you through the process to ensure you comply with the law and can defend claims. It contains:
