Understand Your Rights. Know Your Options. Feel Supported.

Really Simple HR provides clear, practical and confidential guidance to help you understand your options and decide what to do next.

Whether you're dealing with a workplace concern, a disciplinary process or an important life change, we're here to help you make sense of it all.

Understanding Your Employment Rights

We help you understand your employment situation in plain English, without unnecessary jargon.

• Understanding your employment contract and workplace policies

• Questions about pay, working hours, annual leave and notice periods

• Understanding your statutory employment rights

• Probation concerns and changes to your employment terms

• Flexible working requests and workplace adjustments

• Sickness absence and returning to work.

Maternity, Paternity & Family Leave Support

Specialist support for one of life's biggest changes.

Preparing for a new baby should be an exciting time, but navigating maternity and paternity rights, workplace policies and conversations with your employer can feel overwhelming. We specialise in helping employees understand their rights and navigate family leave with confidence.

Our support includes:

• Understanding your maternity and paternity leave entitlements

• Explaining statutory pay, eligibility and relevant employer policies

• Preparing for conversations with your manager or HR team

• Understanding keeping-in-touch days and contact during maternity leave

• Knowing your rights around annual leave, benefits and other employment terms

• Understanding your rights to fair treatment and protection from discrimination

• Preparing for your return to work

• Exploring flexible working options and requests

• Navigating concerns about changes to your role, responsibilities or treatment at work.

Disciplinary & Grievance Support

Being invited to a disciplinary meeting or feeling the need to raise a formal grievance can be stressful. Knowing how the process works and how to prepare can make a real difference.

• Understanding disciplinary and grievance procedures

• Reviewing relevant workplace policies and documentation

• Preparing for meetings and organising your thoughts

• Understanding your right to be accompanied where applicable

• Understanding possible outcomes and next steps

• Raising concerns about unfair treatment or workplace behaviour.

Workplace Concerns & Difficult Situations

If something at work doesn't feel right, it can be difficult to know whether to speak up, who to approach or what to say. We provide a confidential space to talk through your concerns and explore the options available to you.

This might include:

• Difficult relationships with colleagues or managers

• Bullying, harassment or discrimination concerns

• Concerns about how you've been treated at work

• Performance management and capability procedures

• Changes to your role or working arrangements

• Sickness absence and wellbeing-related workplace concerns

• Returning to work after a period of absence or family leave.

Resignations & Leaving Your Job

Leaving a job can raise questions about notice periods, final pay, unused holiday and what happens next. We can help with:

• Understanding your contractual notice period

• Calculating your expected final working date

• Questions about outstanding annual leave and final pay

• Understanding resignation procedures

• Understanding redundancy processes and consultation

• Preparing for conversations about leaving your role.

Practical, Personal Support

Every workplace situation is different. We take the time to understand yours, explain things clearly and help you identify a sensible way forward.

We don't believe you should need to understand employment law to understand your options. Our aim is to make HR straightforward, accessible and less intimidating.

Please note: Really Simple HR provides independent HR guidance and is not a law firm. Where a matter requires legal representation or specialist legal advice, we can help you identify when further support may be appropriate.
