Employment Agreements, Policies And Procedures

It is good practice for employers to have a wide range of policies in place.

Every employer must provide an employee with a written statement of their terms and conditions of employment, within two months of their employment commencing. Such statement or contract should cover all the information required by the Employment Rights Act 1996 including, for example, the names of the parties, start dates, job title, salary, place of work, hours of work, holidays, sickness and notice.

It is also good practice for employers to have a wide range of policies in place, often in the form of a handbook, to deal with all aspects of the employment relationship such as disciplinary and grievance procedures, family friendly policies covering flexible working and maternity, paternity and adoption leave, as well as policies to cover any benefits provided to employees.

Our specialist team of employment solicitors can provide you with all contracts, policies and procedures necessary to suit the needs of your business, as well as providing you with invaluable advice on implementing, varying, updating and enforcing your policies, as the employment relationship progresses.

Recent examples of our work in this area include:

• Conducting a review of all of the contracts and policies for a household name education client in order to advise on whether the terms were contractual or non-contractual
• Producing a handbook and various contracts for employees in different roles for a client providing consultancy services
• Providing a review of contracts and policies for a recycling company in connection with advising on a TUPE transfer

For further details or if you are an employee requiring advice on contracts and policies, please contact a member of our employment team.
