Recommendations

Info

What general practitioners say about the HRC Service I like most GPs, commenced my practice with little knowledge or experience of HR issues and requirements. The ICGP/HRC service has provided me with an effective framework to be a more effective employer to the benefit of the practice, the staff and the patients. – Dr Jacqueline Furlong-MacCarthy, The Meridian Clinic, Dublin 15 This service improved knowledge of both our obligations and ‘rights’ as employers by 100%. – Dr Safia Sayed, Liberties Primary Health Care Centre, Dublin 8 A comprehensive HR assessment of a GP practice is very worthwhile for any practice irrespective of size or type. It is an area which is vital, particularly if issues develop with staff. However, even if this has not occurred or is foreseen in the practice; a HR compliance assessment helps us to be effective and compliant employers and increases staff satisfaction levels. – Dr Neasa McDonagh, Ballymun Family Practice, Dublin Practice staff responded very positively to the installation of the HR compliant system. It enables staff and employers to be aware of the current legislation. It has addressed terms and conditions of employment very clearly. – Sheehan Medical Practice, Dun Laoghaire Co. Dublin Ensuring that all employees have an up to date contract and terms and conditions of employment has not only ensured we are legally compliant but has also helped us to clarify what were once very vague issues such as policy on holidays, overtime, sick leave and many other employee issues. As an employer we feel much more comfortable now that we have a robust system for dealing with difficult employee issues. Our staff have
an increased sense of security and better understanding of their own rights. I would recommend every practice to complete a HR compliance audit. – Barry O’Brien, General Manager, Abbey House Medical Centre, Navan, Co. Meath. I am happy to be seen as a good employer. Anything that is perceived as improving my relationship with my employees I see as positive intervention – Dr Mary Sheehan, Health Centre Clonaslee, Co. Laois Costs This service is provided at a preferential rate for ICGP members. All service fees are recognised as practice training expenses and as such are fully tax allowable.

Employee Rights and Entitlements: • Written terms and conditions of employment • Fair procedures • Minimum leave under the statutory provisions for employment leave • Healthy and safe work environment • Freedom from harassment and bullying • Access to a Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) • Maintenance of employee records. The above respondents have indicated their wilingness to speak further to their colleagues regarding their experiences of the Human Resource Compliance Service.
