Annual Update Service – Keep Your Documentation Always Compliant
If you’ve had your HR policies, contracts of employment and offer letters reviewed or updated by us in the last 24 months, you’re eligible for our Annual Update Service.
Employment legislation changes regularly in the UK. Our Annual Update Service makes sure your HR documentation keeps pace without unexpected costs or the risk of becoming outdated.
What’s Included
✔ Twice-Yearly Updates – We’ll review and update all your HR policies, contracts of employment and formal offer letters every April and October.
✔ Responsive Legal Changes – If employment law changes between updates, we’ll update your documents to reflect the latest requirements.
✔ Compliance Assurance – Stay aligned with current UK employment law so you can manage people with confidence.
✔ Cost-Effective Protection – Avoid expensive one-off revision fees by keeping documents current as part of an ongoing service.
Why Choose the Annual Update Service?
Regular reviews and updates are essential to avoid gaps in compliance, reduce legal risk, and ensure your documentation reflects best practice and legislative changes.
Without an update service in place, out-of-date HR policies and contracts can leave you exposed — and may require comprehensive rewrites at significant cost. With our Annual Update Service, you receive peace of mind knowing your core HR documents are always up to date.
How It Works
- We confirm your eligibility (document revision within last 24 months).
- You sign up to the Annual Update Service.
- Every April and October (or following any material employment law change), we send your updated HR policies, contracts of employment and offer letters.
- You simply share the changes and updates, and we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Using Pay As You Go Alongside A Retainer
Clients on a monthly retainer can also use Pay-As-You-Go or project support for work that falls outside their package or exceeds their monthly hours. This ensures you receive uninterrupted support without the need to upgrade immediately.
Which Option Is Right For You?
- Pay As You Go is best for occasional or one-off HR support
- Project Support suits defined pieces of HR work with a clear outcome
- Monthly Retainers offer the best value for organisations requiring regular HR support
- Annual Update Plan perfect for clients that have already had their HR policies and documentation updated
