HR Services For Tradesmen

No-Nonsense HR Support for Ireland's Tradesmen

Let’s be real - HR isn’t something most tradesmen think about until it becomes a problem. Whether you’re a one-man operation, running a crew, or managing a growing construction business, sorting out contracts and compliance is a pain. That’s where we come in.

We take the hassle out of contracts, employee handbooks and everything in between—so you can get back to doing what you do best: the job.

There Are 4 components to the TradeLinks HR Support Program that we offer as outlined below

1) Initial Setup

Initial set up with employee contracts and company handbook

If you decide to join the TradeLinks HR service, you will receive an email after digitally signing the employment contract which will be sent to you. At the end of this email you will find 2 links, one of which will contain a link to download your company handbook and the other link which will allow you to download the EMPLOYEE EMAIL WORDING.

The handbook is what protects you and your company. It contains all of the rules of the company so you should familiarise yourself with it and make any amendments that you see fit in order tailor it to your company’s needs. The company handbook does not need to be signed by you or the employee but it does need to be made available to your employees.

The EMPLOYEE EMAIL WORDING is the wording to use for the email that you are sending to your employee with their contract attached.

Your employee will need to print the contract in order to sign, so please make sure that they sign the contract and return it to you. It is not required by law that your employee signs the contract, however it puts you in a much stronger position in the event of a disagreement if you have an actual employee’s signature on the contract, so we strongly recommend this.

Now that you have electronically signed the contract it will be in your email, this version, signed by you is what should be sent to your employee. You can download and email it to your employee without you needing to print it.

When sending the contract to your employee's please copy and paste the wording from the document called ‘EMPLOYEE EMAIL WORDING’ and use this as the wording for your email.

2) Monthly HR Training

These training sessions are carried out once per month by our dedicated HR experts. These training sessions are carried out via Zoom on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 8.00pm to 9.00pm and past training sessions are stored in the guides section of our dedicated TradeLinksHR Facebook group.

Please familiarise yourself with all of the past sessions as soon as you join the HR support program. The link to join the TradeLinks HR group will be sent to you after you sign up for the program.

If you need to book a call with our HR expert, the link to his calendar will be pinned to the top of the TradeLinks HR Facebook group.

3) Weekly HR Drop-In Sessions

These sessions take place from 3pm to 6pm every Friday. This is the main support feature of the program and you can access these sessions at any time between the opening hours by simply clicking the link in the email that will be sent you you when you sign up for the service.

These sessions take place on a one to one basis and will allow you to discuss any HR issues that you have with our dedicated HR expert.
