Contracts of employment

Naturally like mortgage terms, a bank loan, a contract for buying an item on hire purchase you should always read the terms! It is goes the same for contracts of employment, but actually how many employees have terms that are up to date and relevant, not that they don’t actually read them and take on board what they receive and are entitled too...

The focus actually should be on the employer to provide up to date terms and conditions, but our own experience is that small business don’t have the time to draft their own terms nor the expertise because a standard template just might not be right for their business and environment. It is important to ensure they fit.. Just because a large corporate gives 12 full pay sick pay, a small business doesn’t have to!!

Remember a new employee should be receive up to date and relevant terms and conditions of employment within 8 weeks of starting their employment – there is a penalty for failing to do so…
