The logical options for a business that employs anything from 10 to 200 people are these:-

• Try and learn sufficient about the legal implications and requirements of managing your employees to enable you to do it yourself without taking your eye off your business and without ending up with an award of compensation from an employment tribunal.
• Employ one of your employees to train up to the required level of knowledge and put them in charge.
• Employ an already trained and qualified personnel manager. Can you find one worth his or her salt for less than £30,000 a year?
