Meet Corey Spencer - the face behind the business 👀

Every business thrives because of its people - and that’s where Spencer HR Solutions comes in. I’m Corey Spencer, Founder & Director and my passion for HR began well over a decade ago!

Starting out in agency recruitment in 2014, I quickly advanced into senior HR roles, leading talent acquisition, apprenticeships, learning & development, and performance management for major organisations such as Rolls-Royce, ITP Aero UK, a national healthcare provider to the NHS and a multi-academy trust. I also hold a voluntary role as member of the Corporation Board at my local college for workforce development 💼

My goal? To protect and support businesses with people-focused HR solutions to attract, manage, retain, and grow their workforce 🙌

After earning my CIPD Level 7 Diploma in Strategic People Management, I recently achieved Chartered Fellow status, the highest accolade awarded by the CIPD. Now, I use my expertise to empower businesses with bespoke HR strategies, compliance solutions, and workforce development support ⚡

Interesting fact? I'm a former British Champion in Ice Skating and when I'm not working with clients, I coach at my local ice rinks and train as a professional pairs skater lifting, spinning and throwing my partner Evie ⛸️

If you’re looking for expert HR guidance that supports your business growth, I’d love to chat!

Five things employers should know about bank holidays 🌟

Bank holidays can be a source of confusion for businesses and employees alike. At People Point, we help employers stay ahead of these challenges with expert HR guidance and tailored solutions.

Here’s what every employer should know:

1️⃣ No automatic right to time off

Employees don’t have a statutory right to take bank holidays off. Your employment contracts should clearly outline whether bank holidays are included in holiday entitlements.

2️⃣ Pay rules for bank holiday working

Offering extra pay for working bank holidays can be a great incentive, but it’s not mandatory. Ensure your contracts and policies consistently reflect your pay rules to avoid misunderstandings.

3️⃣ Mandating annual leave for bank holidays

If your business closes on holidays like Good Friday and Easter Monday, employees can be required to use their leave—but clear notice and policies are key to managing this smoothly.

4️⃣ Fair and transparent holiday requests

Avoid prioritizing leave requests based on personal circumstances to maintain fairness. A first-come, first-served policy ensures equal treatment for all employees.

5️⃣ Employment contracts are essential

Include clear rules on holiday entitlement, pay, and carry-over policies in your contracts and policies for a consistent approach year-round.

💡 At People Point, we partner with your business to make HR simple

Let us help you ensure your contracts of employment are compliant, create tailored policies that reduce confusion, protect your business and help attract, manage and retain your greatest asset - your people.
