Contracts and Handbooks

All employees have a right to receive their terms and conditions of employment within two months of starting a new job. This information is usually included in a contract of employment which is an essential document setting out the rights and obligations for employer and employee.

We can draft contracts of employment for you, including those needed for senior employees which can be complex. Contracts of employment can be supplemented by a handbook which contains essential policies on matters as diverse as disciplinary and grievance, health and safety, sickness and parental leave. We can provide you with up-to-date and legally compliant documents and help you with any questions you might have, including the steps you need to take if you want to vary any terms and conditions.
