Putting professional employment contracts, policies and procedures in place is critical for your business. Some companies manage to operate for a time on an informal basis. But lack of contracts always comes back to bite them in the end, often at substantial costs to the business.
Employee contracts are two-way streets. Yes – they allow the employee to formalise their rights. But they also let you tell them about what you expect too.
We help you convert implied terms of your current working relationships with employees into formal contracts. These can then protect you as circumstances change.
While most employees would never dream of taking legal action against you, some still might. They may exploit holes in your current policies for money or other reasons.
Developing contracts, policies and procedures by yourself can take an enormous amount of time. And, as a business leader, you often don’t have much to spare.
Remember, by offering employees work and paying them in return, you already enter into a contractual relationship with them. Thus, current statutory legislation means that you still have to provide them with all standard protections, even if you don’t have a formal contract.
