Why Choose Deminos?
Employment tribunals are disruptive and expensive

In the UK last year (Apr 06 - Mar 07) there were 132,577 employment tribunal claims. 530 per working day. (Source: Employment Tribunal's own statistics)

As well as the volume, the cost of tribunals rises every year. Over the same period the average payout for an unfair dismissal claim was

£7,974

The maximum award is capped at £63,000. On top of this you have to defend the case. Using a typical solicitor at £200 per hour you could pay anywhere between £3,500 and £8,000.

With Deminos you avoid the pain and expense of tribunals in three ways:

  1. Our best practice HR advice means you shouldn't reach the point of a tribunal in the first place.
  2. If you do get taken to tribunal we will handle the defence for you, meaning you can concentrate on running your business.
  3. Finally, we are so confident that if you follow our advice that we will guarantee to:
  • pay for the cost of defence.
  • pay for any award or settlement.
 
HR Managers are expensive to employ

HR Managers are effective but expensive.

A qualified and experienced HR manager will cost your business between £25,000 and £40,000 per year. But the benefits will be immense:

  • They will keep you on the right side of employment law.
  • They will help solve problems with your staff.
  • They can improve the performance and morale of your staff.
  • They will keep your staff trained to do their job.
  • They can help you recruit the right staff.

However the costs can be high as well. When you add National Insurance, benefits and perhaps a car, the monthly cost could be anywhere between £2,500 and £4,000 per month.

This is where Deminos helps - we will give you all the benefits of your own HR manager but for a fraction of the price.

In addition, our HR helpline is available 24 hours a day, so you can ask us a question when your own HR manager would be fast asleep!
 
What our customers say

"After an initial consultation, Deminos sorted out our employment contracts and staff handbooks straight away.

On the odd occasion that I've needed to use the helpline I've found the advice to be practical and businesslike - these people understand how real businesses work.

Although I'm sure I won't need it, it's good to know that employment tribunals won't cost me a thing."
