What you get
60 to 90-minute session
Enough time to properly work through the situation, understand the risk and arrive at a clear plan.
Direct access to Samantha
Not a call centre. Not a junior. Samantha Newton FCIPD handles the session herself.
Written summary within 48 hours
A clear record of the advice and the steps to follow. Yours to keep and act on.
Realistic options, not just legal theory
Advice that accounts for your business, your team and what is actually workable, not just what the law technically permits.
Who this is for
For business owners dealing with a live employee situation
This session is not general HR advice. It is for owner-managed businesses with a specific situation that needs sorting. Correctly and quickly.
- Owner-managed businesses without a dedicated HR function
- Business owners who have a live employee situation they need sorted now
- Managers who are unsure whether what they are facing is serious
- Anyone who has spoken to Samantha on a free call and wants to go further
- Businesses that cannot afford to get this wrong
Typical situations
The situations this session is designed for
These are the situations Samantha handles most often. If yours is not listed, get in touch, if it involves an employee and carries risk, it is likely something she can help with.
- An employee whose performance has not improved despite earlier conversations
- A formal or informal grievance that needs handling properly
- A disciplinary process you need to run correctly from the start
- Long-term sickness absence with no clear return date
- Difficult behaviour from an employee you are not sure how to address
- A situation where you think dismissal may be the right outcome
- A redundancy or restructure that needs to be done fairly
- A settlement discussion you want to handle without creating additional risk
Why Isn't The Free Call Enough?
The free 20-minute call helps us understand what's happening and whether I can help. It's a chance to discuss the situation, identify the main issues and decide whether further support is needed.
What it doesn't do is solve the problem.
The Fix This Employee Issue Session is where we work through the issue properly. We'll review the situation, identify the risks, talk through your options and create a practical plan for what happens next.
You'll leave with clarity, direction and a clear understanding of the steps you should take. Many business owners tell me the biggest benefit is finally knowing what to do, rather than spending weeks worrying about making the wrong decision.

Investment
£495 + VAT
Most business owners tell me they wish they had done this sooner. Getting it wrong costs significantly more: in management time, legal fees, and the disruption it causes. An employment tribunal claim can run to five figures or more, and that is before accounting for what it costs internally.
