As well as defining the role of an employee, an Employment Contract sets out the areas which, as a business owner, you need covered. Without one of these, your business is exposed to unnecessary risk. Hiring staff is an exciting time for any business and it is important to have a good Employment Contract ready to go. You want a contract that can adapt to any position you are looking to employ and any terms you set.
An Employment Contract contains not only answers to the more immediate questions like pay, benefits, hours and place of work; but determines future factors like annual leave, termination, notice periods and also restrictive covenants (what an employee may do when they leave). Please be aware we can also assist with Freelancer Agreements, Internship Agreements and Apprenticeship Agreements.
Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, employers must include a list of around 18 particulars. These particulars include start date, job title, employer's address, pay, pension information, benefits, and paid leave.
Of course! It is usually quite simple to change an employment contract to suit different needs, normally just a case of changing names, addresses, dates and pay, as well as job titles and responsibilities. However, more consideration should be taken when employing more senior members of staff or executives.
