Contracts and Policies

As an employer, it is crucial to ensure that every member of your team, from junior staff to senior management, has a well-drafted contract. This applies to all types of work schedules, whether they are on zero hours, shift work, part-time hours, full-time hours, or irregular hours. It also includes different categories of worker, such as seasonal, agency, fixed-term, permanent, or even consultants.

An employment contract outlines all rights and obligations between you and your employees, covering aspects such as working hours, salary, and benefits. This clarity helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that both parties understand their responsibilities.

Before signing with a new employee, we would recommend you consult with an employment specialist regarding the proposed contract and the benefits offered. This enables you to anticipate and address any potential issues, such as clauses allowing for variation of terms, which could lead to future disagreements.

Additionally, consider the inclusion of any restrictive covenants, such as non-compete clauses, preventing employees from joining competitors or starting similar businesses within a specific timeframe. Early advice can help ensure smooth onboarding and continued compliance.
