FAQs
What kind of workplace issues can I speak to you about?
You can contact us about almost any work-related concern — from unfair treatment, bullying or harassment, and disciplinary issues, to confusion about contracts, redundancies, or grievances. If something doesn’t feel right at work, or if you’re unsure about your rights or how to respond to a situation, we’re here to listen. We offer guidance that’s tailored, practical, and always confidential, helping you make informed decisions without pressure.
I don’t want to make things worse at work — will speaking to you cause any problems with my employer?
Not at all. Speaking to Help HR is completely private, and we don’t contact your employer unless you explicitly ask us to. In fact, many clients reach out to us before doing anything formal. We help you understand what your rights are, what options you have, and what the safest next step might be — all while keeping you in control of the situation.
Can I still get help if I’ve already left the company or been dismissed?
Yes, absolutely. Just because you’re no longer employed doesn’t mean you don’t have rights. Many employment claims or disputes can still be addressed after leaving, especially if you believe you were treated unfairly or dismissed without due process. We’ll help you understand what time limits may apply and whether you still have grounds to take action.
Do you offer help if I’m going through a disciplinary process?
Yes. If you’ve been invited to a disciplinary meeting, received a warning, or feel you’re being treated unfairly during a formal process, we can guide you through every step. We’ll help you understand what’s expected, how to prepare, and how to respond — ensuring you’re treated fairly and know your rights at every stage.
I’m being treated differently since returning from sick leave or maternity leave. Can you help?
Absolutely. If you’re being treated unfairly due to illness, maternity, or other protected circumstances, that could be classed as discrimination. We’ll listen carefully to your situation, explain what the law says, and help you understand what steps you can take — whether that means raising concerns internally or preparing for further action.
How quickly can I get advice?
We aim to respond to all new enquiries promptly, often within the same working day. If your issue is time-sensitive, let us know and we’ll do our best to prioritise your case. We understand that workplace issues can feel urgent and stressful, so we work efficiently to ensure you don’t feel left waiting.
How much does it cost to speak with Help HR?
We offer a transparent, fixed-fee approach for employee consultations — no hidden charges, no unnecessary add-ons. The cost depends on the complexity of the situation, but we’ll always explain the fees upfront before any commitment is made. In many cases, a single consultation is all that’s needed to give you clarity and direction.
What if I’m not sure whether what happened to me is actually unfair or illegal?
That’s exactly the kind of situation where Help HR can help. You don’t need to be certain before reaching out — if something feels off, we’ll talk it through with you in plain terms. We’ll help you understand whether your experience may breach your rights under UK employment law and what your realistic options are. Sometimes the answer is legal, and sometimes it’s about communication or internal process. Either way, we’ll guide you calmly so you can decide what action, if any, is right for you.
Can I still get HR support if I’ve already signed a settlement agreement?
Possibly, yes — depending on the timing and terms of the agreement. If you’ve signed but still feel unsure, it’s important to check whether you were fully informed, fairly treated, and legally protected. If you haven’t yet signed, we can explain what the document means, what you might be giving up, and whether the terms are fair. Even after signing, we may be able to advise you on certain aspects or help you prepare for what comes next — especially if you’re moving on to a new role.
