Some compliance requirements go beyond the scope of Compliance Works, as they may require legal advice. For example, if an employer is terminating the employment of an employee, there are other sources of law (including prior court decisions) that may require the employer to provide more notice and termination pay than the minimums set out in the legislation. 

When these potential issues arise, we flag that for you.
