We advise all businesses to have tailored, up to date contracts of employment. This will give you the right protection you need as a business in the event of disputes arising in the future and the reassurance that you have a clear starting point to resolve any issues should they arise. It is particularly important to have detailed contracts for senior employees who have access to confidential information and potentially high degrees of influence over your other employees and your customer base.
Contracts of employment should be supplemented by a handbook or separate policies and procedures that set out how broader HR and employment issues will be dealt with on a day to day basis. Those policies and procedures can cover a diverse range of matters such as disciplinary and grievance, social media, IT security, sickness and family leave and can be tailored to your specific business or sector. It is a legal requirement (and very advisable) to have certain policies in place. Do see our FAQ’s for more information.
We can work with you to put in place new contracts and handbooks from scratch. We can also work with your existing documents, to review and update them.
If there are terms and conditions within the contracts or policies that you want to change, we can support you to make sure that you follow the correct processes and do not inadvertently expose your business to a claim.
