HR myths

Cat Jones

A lighthearted one for you all...

We've been recruiting a lot recently and a colleague in sales stated, "If we get more people in, you'll have to get a disabled person soon". He was under the impression that companies of a certain size MUST hire people with a disability. After pointing out that was totally untrue, we also had a positive conversation about disability is more than using a wheelchair...

What comments have you heard relating to HR that are totally not true?

Fake news? Fiction? Fantasy?

  • General employment law myths I'm always coming across - If someone works for you through an agency for 12 weeks you than have to give them a permanent contract. Everyone is entitled to 30 minutes paid lunch break.
    HR myths - we represent the employees against the employer. HR is just admin. We are responsible for all decisions on payrises, promotions, terminations, redundancies, unpopular policies.
