NFSP Postmaster HR

HR:4UK – Your Trusted Partner

HR:4UK have been supporting members of the National Federation of Subpostmasters (NFSP) for over two decades with employment advice for all federation members available free of charge as well as access to our standard contract and employment handbook.

We also offer our enhanced PostmasterHR service which is designed specifically for postmasters to assist with all HR matters. It is even endorsed, subsidised and recommended by the NFSP itself.

By choosing to upgrade to PostmasterHR, members gain full access to eConnect, our cloud-based employee management HR system. 

This incredible piece of kit allows postmasters to reduce their HR administration time by as much as 80%, as it generates all key employment documentation – with automatic updates in line with current legislation – to ensure that you always comply with statutory obligations and Post Office requirements. 

All of our contracts and handbooks include tailored post office and retail clauses as standard, and, what is more, we also provide the option of adding liability for losses within your contracts to further protect your business.
