employers as they undergo all the compliance and the statutory rules which are being
given by the government of UK for managing the organisations in an effective

government in the organisation there is being saying that the wages to be given at a
timely manner to all the employees and also with maternity and paternity benefits are
needed to be addressed.
 Time taking: The employers will have to monitor and access all the work as in
relation to check the employees in the company that there should not be any kind of
issues which is being faced by them, all the communication is being made in a
transparent manner. The employers will also have to monitor that the employees are
being working efficiently and also regular feedbacks are to be taken for the
supervising, guidance and the general compliance( Thomas, and Baddipudi, 2022).

their workforce terminate employees from jobs which are no longer needed. When
any of the employees being dismissed from the job then they are observed to have

effect on the reputation of the organisation as the other candidates will not be willing
to work in that area as they feel that a job will not be secured.
