A fixed cost employment law telephone and email advice service which gives you unlimited advice to experienced advisors who will help you through the minefield of legislation.
At Wilkin Chapman, we are committed to providing a high quality service to all of our clients. We recognise the fact that employers need more support if they are to comply with the ever increasing employment legislation which is why we have launched an ‘Employment Advice Line’, a fixed cost employment law advice service which gives you unlimited access to professional qualified advisors who will help you through the minefield of legislation.
Many employers feel restricted by insurance companies in terms of the flexibility they are allowed in making decisions concerning their employees. We are able to provide objective advice to assist you in achieving your commercial goals without the restrictions which insurance led packages impose. The vast majority of claims are avoidable if proper workplace policies are implemented, so if you follow our advice we can help you minimise the risk.
The service includes:
- Unlimited telephone and email employment advice available Monday to Friday 9am to 5.15pm
- Subscription to monthly employment updates by email
- Concessionary rates for an Audit of Current Policies and Procedures
- Access to virtual Employment Handbook

Unlike many consultancies whose service is poor and anonymous, through our devoted telephone line you will have immediate and unlimited access to one of our team of qualified and experienced lawyers who will act as your dedicated advisor and with whom you will be able to build up an ongoing relationship. If for any reason that person is unavailable, there will always be another member of the qualified team to answer your query.
We are able to offer unlimited telephone and email employment advice on a wide range of employment issues between the hours of 9am to 5.15pm Monday to Friday.
