The Department for Business' 'Employing People' campaign follows recent research which showed that businesses were spending unnecessary time and money complying with employment law, often outsourcing for expensive advice which they could be getting for free.
45,301 businesses in the region will be contacted to let them know how to make savings by using Business Link's online tools, calculators and interactive guides, to help them understand their legal obligations and reduce unnecessary duplication of materials and wasted effort.
