The model

A simple relationship with clear responsibility.

The employer normally contracts directly with Veridon. The professional partner remains the trusted introducer, not an intermediary responsible for interpreting Veridon advice.

01

Professional partner

Identifies the need and makes the introduction.

02

Employer client

Agrees scope, fees and terms directly with Veridon.

03

Veridon

Provides the HR or employee-relations support and hands back where partner input is needed.

When to introduce Veridon

A clear route when the people issue needs structure.

The introduction point is usually easy to recognise: the issue is commercially important, but sits outside the adviser's core remit.

  1. 01

    A client has no internal HR and a live employee issue has emerged.

  2. 02

    Contracts, policies or handbooks have not kept pace with growth.

  3. 03

    A grievance, disciplinary, capability or absence issue needs structure.

  4. 04

    The client needs an independent workplace investigation.

  5. 05

    Redundancy, restructure or TUPE is being considered.

  6. 06

    A senior exit or settlement discussion is becoming sensitive.

  7. 07

    Several group companies are operating inconsistent HR arrangements.

How the relationship works

Boundaries that protect every party.

01

No partner retainer required

Introduce appropriate clients without buying a subscription from Veridon.

02

Direct engagement

The employer normally agrees Veridon scope, fees and terms directly.

03

Clear boundaries

The partner is not expected to relay or interpret HR advice.

04

Confidentiality

Client information is shared only on an appropriate authority and need-to-know basis.

05

No forced referral fee model

There is no requirement for a referral-fee arrangement. Any commercial arrangement must be separately agreed and appropriate for both firms.

06

Reciprocal value

Where appropriate, Veridon can refer finance, tax, payroll or other work back to trusted professional partners.

Partner support

Starting a partner relationship

Begin simply, without unnecessary infrastructure.

A relationship can begin with a short introduction call, an agreed referral route and a direct Veridon contact. More formal co-branded or white-label arrangements are considered only where responsibilities are clear.

  1. 01

    Introduction call

    Agree the types of employer matters that are appropriate to introduce.

  2. 02

    Referral route

    Confirm the direct Veridon contact and how employer introductions should be made.

  3. 03

    Direct engagement

    The employer normally agrees Veridon scope, fees and terms directly.

  4. 04

    Partner hand-back

    Where finance, payroll or accounting input is needed, Veridon reconnects the issue to the referring professional.

  5. 05

    Optional development

    Consider co-branded or white-label arrangements only where responsibilities are clear.
