The rules, regulations and laws of employment are an ever-evolving sector of industry with which all employers must acquaint themselves, keep up to date and adhere to.\n\nAs a business owner and employer in residential care, having the time required to do so can be onerous and take me away from concentrating my skill and expertise in the operational areas in which I\u2019m most qualified and prefer to spend my time, which is caring for my residents,\n\nMichael and his partners at Boyd HR in Letterkenny have enabled me to do this and given me the confidence to know that I and, importantly, my employees are receiving up to date, qualified and professional advice. \n\nBoyd HR has advised me on many personnel matters from Employment Law, contracts of employment, mediation and, disciplinary issues.\n \nSenior members of my staff have also gained invaluable knowledge and benefits from attending their leadership courses over recent years.\n\nI thank and highly recommend Boyd HR for their support to me and my business.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnne Gallagher<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProprietor of Hillcrest House and Lodge, Long Lane, Letterkenny<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I have been working in the area of tax and accountancy for over twenty years and during that time business clients have always, without exception, confided details of the difficulties they experience in relation to the management and performance of their staff.\n\nAs an employer myself, I too have often found the area of human resources and employment legislation quite daunting and somewhat difficult to manage. It is a complex area and it is essential for the protection of your business that you have the correct systems and procedures in place.\n\nMy decision to engage the services of Boyd HR to assist me in this area has certainly proved to a worthwhile investment towards to development and growth of my business.\n\nIn addition, assisting our firm in ensuring that the appropriate safeguards are in place for dealing the with the recruitment of staff, Michael Boyd and his team have provided me with some extremely valuable advice in relation to how to effectively deal with challenging issues that sometimes arise within a workplace environment.\n\nMichael always provides the right level of guidance that allows me to reach positive outcomes but at the same time ensuring that I take responsibility as the business owner.\n\nI have no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team with absolute confidence that the advice and services that Boyd HR provide to business owners will be in their best interests.\n\nIt is with sincere gratitude that I wish Michael Boyd and his team at Boyd HR, every success in the future development of his business.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Edwin Foley<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrincipal Partner, Edwin Foley & Co.

\nI am a local pharmacist based in Donegal town for over 40 years and in Mountcharles for over seven years.\n\nIn February 2015, after contacting you for advice on a staffing issue, you came to our home (a private venue) and were able to advise in a factual, concise, point by point basis that enabled me to approach the staff member in question with confidence knowing I am versing my concerns in the correct way that will not cause offence yet they are able to understand what I want going forward.\n\nI was so impressed by your expertise, I knew I needed for my organisation, a full review of my staff employment contracts. Again, you visited our home to discuss, confidentially, our staff on a case by case basis in relation to hours worked, rate of pay, holidays due, what to do in case of bank holidays and lots more.\n\nTo finish, we met again in your office in Letterkenny to finally get everything exact. What was produced were excellent staffing contracts, a staff handbook, and for me, a confidence that as an employer I am doing everything by the letter of law.\n\nI had a very recent staff incident that on your verbal advice (at 10.15 pm) followed up by written advice the following morning at 8.45 am, I was able to approach the staff member in question on opening at 9.15 am and solve the incident knowing what and what not to say.\n\nMichael, I have used your professional advice and Human Resource service for years now and I am extremely satisfied with your services.\n\nI would class Boyd HR as an emergency service that you do not appreciate until you need it, and thus with confidence that I can recommend Boyd HR to fellow employers.\n\nWishing you and the team at Boyd HR the much-deserved success going forward.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoe Britton<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManaging Director, Britton\u2019s Pharmacy, Donegal Town<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
