HR Policies & Contracts
Clear, Compliant, and Tailored to Your Business
Most businesses have policies written once, filed away, and forgotten. The problem? They’re packed with jargon, disconnected from how the business really runs, and out of date the moment laws or working practices change. Instead of protecting you, they create confusion, resentment, and risk. At Altum HR, we fix that.

Why Altum HR
Your HR policies & contracts should go beyond legislation
They should reflect your values, protect your business, support managers, and give employees confidence in a fair workplace. With over 50 years’ combined experience in HR and employment law, our CIPD-qualified team makes HR compliance simple. We turn complex legislation into clear, practical documentation that empowers your people and safeguards your business.
Every policy we create is legally compliant with UK employment law, written in plain English, and tailored to your business culture. From disciplinary and grievance procedures to flexible working policies and employee handbooks, our documents are practical, relevant, and built to last. We don’t use cookie-cutter employment templates; our approach is bespoke, hands-on, and designed to reflect your people, values, and the way you work.
From Compliance to Confidence
Weak or outdated HR documentation is risky. It fuels disputes, slows down managers, and can cost thousands if it ends up in tribunal. That’s why we rewrite policies and contracts so they’re clear, consistent, and enforceable. Managers know the right steps to take, employees trust the process, and your business stays compliant and protected. The result is a stronger workplace culture built on clarity and fairness.
Built on Law, Designed for Growth
Whether you’re scaling up and need solid foundations, stuck with outdated policies that need modernising, or adapting to new ways of working, we ensure your policies stay current, practical, and effective. Every policy and contract is backed by UK employment law, tailored to your business needs, and written for real-world use.
HR Policies & Contracts FAQs
Why do I need bespoke HR policies & contracts instead of templates?
Generic templates rarely reflect how your business actually operates. They can leave gaps in compliance, create confusion for managers, and put you at risk if challenged legally. Bespoke HR policies & contracts ensure you’re covered, compliant, and consistent.
How often should HR policies and contracts be updated?
At least once a year, or whenever UK employment law changes. Policies should also be reviewed when your business changes, such as introducing hybrid working, restructuring teams, or scaling up.
Can you review our existing HR policies and contracts?
Yes. We’ll audit your current documentation, identify risks and gaps, and recommend clear, practical updates that align with both legislation and your culture.
How do you ensure employees engage with new policies?
We offer workshops and consultation support to embed policy understanding across teams and management levels, making policies meaningful, not just mandatory.
Do you only work with large businesses?
No. We support SMEs, start-ups, and growing companies as well as established organisations. Our solutions are tailored to your size, sector, and goals.
Are your policies legally compliant?
Absolutely. Every document we produce is fully aligned with current UK employment law and best practice in HR.
What happens if we don’t have any policies in place?
You are more exposed to conflict in the employment relationship. Some policies are statutory, others recommended - where there is conflict, there is increased risk of tribunal claims.
Can you adapt policies for hybrid or remote working?
Yes. We create frameworks that support flexible working while keeping you compliant with UK legislation.
Can you help with casual contracts?
Yes. We draft and review contracts across all employment types, ensuring compliance and clarity regardless of the arrangement.
Do you offer ongoing support after the policies are created?
Yes. Altum HR provides ongoing HR and employment law advice, so your policies evolve with your business and remain fully compliant.
What if I need to change terms for existing staff?
We guide you through the legal process of contract variation, including communication strategies and documentation.
