Core HR Document Support

Essential workplace policies and employee-administration documents for businesses that manage payroll elsewhere.

This service helps small and growing employers organise key employee paperwork without signing up for payroll processing or full HR consultancy.

Who is this service for?

Core HR Document Support may be suitable if you:

  • Process payroll internally or through an accountant
  • Are hiring your first employees
  • Have grown quickly and need more consistent paperwork
  • Have incomplete or disorganised employee records
  • Need practical document support without ongoing HR advice
  • Want a defined monthly service with clear limits

 

What the service helps you achieve

Core HR Document Support can help you:

  • Create a more consistent employee-document system
  • Organise starter, change and leaver paperwork
  • Reduce repeated document preparation
  • Keep supported documents easier to locate and update
  • Maintain clearer document registers and version records

The service focuses on document preparation and administration. It does not replace the employer’s decision-making responsibilities or specialist HR and legal advice.

Routine action definition

One routine action means preparing or updating one Essential Branded document included in the client’s original Core setup using complete information supplied by the employer. It includes one simple factual correction. It does not include a new document, new policy, substantial rewriting, bespoke drafting, multiple revision rounds or a larger project.

Contracts

  • The Essential Branded contract foundation is included in setup.
  • Individual starter contracts are not included in Core.
  • Substantial policy revisions, new policies and major document redesigns are not routine actions and are quoted separately, with standalone policy updates starting from €100.
  • Starter contracts may be purchased separately or through an agreed annual contract bundle.
  • Fully Customised contracts are quoted separately.
