Drafting Employment Contracts
Irrespective of size, every business is legally required to issue employees with a 'Statement of Terms and Conditions' within a given timeframe. Failure to do so can lead to an automatic award of up to 4 weeks pay at an Employment Tribunal. Employee handbooks and certain policies/procedures (discipline and grievance in particular) also have legal requirements. Again, not using the statutory procedures can result in automatic unfair dismissal decision and fines.
However, the use of pragmatic, legally compliant and best practice HR policies and procedures can help businesses achieve their goals by ensuring the needs of the business are met through their people. PES provides the following range of services:
- Full set of contracts, policies and staff handbook for start ups
- New policies for growing businesses to meet new requirements
- Additional policies/procedures needed as a result of new legislation for existing businesses
- Review of existing contracts and policies to ensure compliance and fill any gaps
An HR 'MOT' will ensure you are up to date with the constantly changing employment legislation. Click here for further information.
