Business owners and employers rave about amazing new online time saver when creating employment contracts and other legal HR documents.

• New online function significantly reduces the time required by employers when creating  employment contracts and other legal HR documents
  
• Business owners and employers benefit from advances in technology while accessing expert legal employment and HR documents
• Continued commitment to reducing the complexity and costs of legal employment documentation and related themes in England & Wales. 

The first-of-a-kind online legal resource for employers, Cleardocs announces the addition of innovative ‘copy & paste’ functionality within its online legal and HR document creation software - saving employers time, money and effort.

Whether a limited company or mutual, more and more business owners are turning to Cleardocs as the solution to their legal employment document needs: seeking both a cost and time efficient solution, business owners have been the inspiration for the latest software development at the Hampshire based online legal employment document provider.

One of the major issues facing SMEs when creating the correct legal framework for employment is the time required to work through ‘piles of paperwork’, ‘fill in forms’ and ‘respond to the same questions time and again’. Even when working with employment law and HR related professionals, business owners find themselves having to repeat their requirements via  drawn out and often intensive discussions. Whilst rightly seeking the highest possible standard in their legal employment documentation, business owners also need an easy to use, easy to replicate and value for money solution.

The innovative development is a remarkably straight forward idea: having created, finished and paid for - as an example – a standard contract of employment for one employee, the business owner simply clicks on ‘copy and paste’ within the Cleardocs online system.  The Cleardocs system creates an entirely new contract copying the data from the previous agreement and pasting into a new document – meaning that entering core data such as business name, address, and hours of work and so on only needs to be done once. In order to tailor each contract to a specific employee, the Cleardocs system allows the employer to edit the pasted data.

As Ben Norman, MD of Impact Media Limited and Cleardocs customer notes; “I run a busy search engine optimisation and online marketing business, with 15 employees – I don’t have time for appointments with lawyers or other employment experts. I also don’t want to pay their fees for just putting data into documents. Of course I want and value legal expertise, but with technology advancing the way it does, I wanted a smarter way of working. Lots of companies on the internet provide employment documents, but you have to enter and re-enter the same data every time you do a new contract – it’s a waste of my time! I’ve got other stuff to get on with.”

Norman goes on to say; “With Cleardocs I created one contract of employment exactly as I wanted for my business, and quickly afterwards I had all 15 contracts of employments done. Running a business is difficult enough as it is, at least Cleardocs recognise the need for professional, value for money, technology led solutions – I wish more people did.”

Cleardocs are innovators in the field of online documentation, and are the first company in the UK to combine sophisticated I.T. with the expertise of an established and leading law firm to provide innovative pay-as-you–go expert legal documentation. Additionally, the company was the first to provide a free helpline answered in real time with the provision of free initial legal support relating to the use or consequences of use of its documents.
