Day-to-day operating brief

What Employment Law Advisor (Internal) work looks like in practice

An Internal Employment Law Advisor supports leaders and HR on disciplinary, grievance, absence, restructuring, discrimination, contractual and tribunal matters. Terms should define client groups, advisory scope, privilege handling, case records, external counsel, settlements, policy ownership, training and conflicts. The advisor explains law and risk but should not become the undocumented decision-maker, rewrite adverse facts or imply that marking an ordinary HR message confidential automatically makes it privileged. Advice should identify the facts supplied, facts still disputed and operational owner for further investigation. Where several employees raise connected concerns, the advisor should consider consistency and cross-case confidentiality without casually merging files or allowing one manager's assumptions to become evidence in every matter.

Analyse employee-relations instructions.
Advise on process options and risk.
Review policies letters and agreements.
