What is HR?

Historically known as an ‘admin’ function, Human Resources is the management of the employee lifecycle; recruiting, onboarding, training, conduct, sickness absence, performance management and benefits.

Why do I need it?

One of the first questions you will be asked in the event of a dispute with an employee, is whether you have issued contracts and what policies you have in place. Many businesses believe in the ‘verbal contract’, which mostly leads to problems. It is also very difficult to enforce a policy that an employee has never seen (or heard of).

Or:

• You could have a business which requires HR support but you don’t have the budget for a full time HR professional
• You may have someone looking after your HR at a basic level but need someone with expertise to call upon
• You want to recruit new employees but don’t have the time to do the advertising, sifting, interviewing and hiring process
• All of your policies are in your head and you want up to date, business specific documents you can make available to employees
• Maybe your business has grown and you are starting to see some disciplinary or performance problems within your workforce that you are not sure how to handle
• You know your stuff but need an extra pair of hands from time to time
• Your business has a need for a new HR or appraisal system and you want someone to manage the implementation for you
• HR was the last thing on your list and now something has come up, which means you need quick advice to resolve it
• The business is just getting started but you want to build a foundation of good practice with contracts, policies and processes that will stay relevant

If any of the issues have hit home with you, get in touch and find out what kind of support we can provide for your business - 01463 592050.

Film and Content Creative

• Are you ready to stand out from the crowd and give your career the creative space it needs to develop?
• Would you like a role that offers variety, challenge and an opportunity to build on your previous digital media experience?
• If you would like to combine all this and be based in Scotland's Highland capital then this opportunity could be for you!

Who are we?

HCVF believe that creative use of digital media technology is a powerful way to unite an organisation with their customers. We have created thousands of films for clients in nearly every sphere of business.

Our ethos is simple; we treat people how we want to be treated. HCVF believe in making films that are produced to quality broadcast standards, which exceed the expectations of our clients, and in the most cost-effective manner. For over 35 years clients have trusted us to tell their stories.

What you'll do

We are looking for a Film and Content Creative to work with our Production Team at HCVF. Based in Inverness, you will be part of our small team who will come up with creative solutions to a brief from the client. You will work as part of a team on projects and also take ownership for your own assignments.

You will be required to film on location as well as in our production studio. Your ability to effectively communicate with clients will be key, especially when they may have little knowledge of the production work and look for advice and guidance on key decisions.

You will undertake all aspects of post-production and use a range of editing and post production software such as Avid, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and Media Encoder.

Working as part of the Event Production Team, you will be required to help setup, operate and de-rig bespoke events.


What you'll need

• A relevant qualification in digital media production
• Previous experience of working in a busy digital media environment
• Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills
• The ability to work as part of the team
• A self-starter approach and be able to work under minimum supervision
• Attention to detail
• Understanding of health and safety in a production environment
• A current UK Driving Licence

Come and work in an environment where you will be encouraged to show your creativity in all its glory!

Last of all, be inspired by stunning, world famous locations and experience the amazing quality of life offered by living in this beautiful part of Scotland.

For everyone who isn't on my mailing list - here are some updates on the new National Minimum Rates.

Please find the new National Minimum Wage rates, effective from 1st April 2019.

£8.21 per hour for ages 25 and over.

£7.70 per hour for ages 21 to 24.

£6.15 per hour for ages 18 to 20.

£4.35 per hour for school leaving age to 17.

£3.90 per hour for apprentices.

The new rate will apply to the next pay reference period that begins on or after the date:

- a rate increase begins

- an employee reaches a new age bracket.

For example: an employee paid on the 20th of each month will start to receive the new rate of minimum wage from 21 April onwards.

If a worker receives above NMW there is no legal obligation on an employer to increase their pay when the NMW rate increases.

The difference between the National Living Wage and the Living Wage

The government's NLW is different from the Living Wage, which is an hourly rate of pay and updated annually.

The Living Wage is set independently by the Living Wage Foundation and is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK. Employers choose to pay the Living Wage on a voluntary basis.

Payslips!!!!

This month there are important changes to the Employment Rights Act 1996 affecting payslip information:

1. Employers must include the total number of hours worked where the pay varies according to the hours worked, for example under variable hours or zero hour contracts.

2. Payslips must be given to 'workers' and not just employees.


If anyone needs further clarification on any of the details included here, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Wow, it's been a while and as usual, I have no excuse except that things have been so busy!

Due to demand, I have started to offer Recruitment services for all clients, existing and new!

I offer a bespoke Recruitment solution, tailored to the needs of the business. My network stretches across the globe and my knowledge of recruitment process is second to none.

A standard contingency arrangement that you get from an agency doesn't apply here. Posting a vacancy and sending CV's can be done by anyone and doesn't add value.

If you want to hire the best person possible for your business and at a very fair price, please get in touch.

Morning Everyone,

It has been a while since I posted, I really must get better at staying in touch!

The last few months have been busy and a lot of learnings have come from my clients, specifically in the services and support they need from me.

Therefore, due to demand I am now offering the following services:

HR Interim - Need a specific piece of work handled? Something that your existing HR guys can't get to? Use the expertise of someone who can come in and get the job done quickly - minimum half a day applies and no ongoing contract required.

HR Coach - As with many companies, you may have someone managing HR who is junior or inexperienced. I now offer a coaching and mentoring service to support businesses who want to develop the capabilities of their HR staff.

Recruitment - Due to high demand from clients and my vast network, I now offer recruitment services. A standard, sensible fee applies and a fully dedicated service offered for any type of vacancy.

As always, don't be shy to ask. If I can't help, I will know someone who can!

Thanks everyone.

Colin 😀
