Lacking access to reliable HR advice when you need it

Your Path to HR Compliance

Our HR support helps you manage employment responsibilities, review policies and processes, and address workplace issues. Requirements depend on the circumstances and jurisdiction; advisory support does not guarantee legal compliance or a particular employment outcome. Reviews distinguish requirements already in force from future changes, including the phased Employment Rights Act 2025 reforms. Requirements can differ across UK jurisdictions.

Compliance Ready

Review policies and practices against the employment requirements applicable to your business, workforce and location.

Reduced Risk

Identify and resolve HR issues early before they escalate.

Streamlined HR

Save time with structured processes and clear documentation.

Flexible Support

Access HR advice through the support arrangements and scope agreed for your package.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HR consultancy and employer advice does Critical Path offer?

Critical Path provides tailored HR consultancy and advisory support for employers. We can review your current arrangements and discuss policies, procedures, employment responsibilities and workplace matters within an agreed scope. Tell us what support you need and any relevant timescales. Please use only a brief overview in the website form and avoid sensitive employee details.

Can outsourced HR support be tailored to our business?

Yes. Outsourced HR support can be scoped around your workforce, existing policies, management needs and the matters you want help with. Advice must take account of the facts, employment status and applicable jurisdiction. We agree responsibilities and the support arrangements with you; an HR support package does not guarantee a particular employment outcome.

Can HR advice help us prepare for employment law changes?

Yes. HR support can help review policies and processes against applicable employment requirements and plan for confirmed changes. The Employment Rights Act 2025 is being implemented in stages, so provisions already in force must be distinguished from future reforms. Advice should reflect the relevant commencement dates and jurisdiction, including differences between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
