Employment Contracts
In short — A properly drafted employment contract gives both parties clarity on the working arrangements and protects your business from disputes and claims.
UK employers must give employees a written statement of terms under the Employment Rights Act 1996. A properly drafted employment contract goes further, providing clarity for both parties and reducing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes. Without one, it can be much harder to protect sensitive information and prevent unfair competition, and the risk of Employment Tribunal claims rises.
We can help you with:
- Setting out role, duties, hours, pay, holiday entitlement and sickness allowance
- Protecting the business with confidentiality, intellectual property and post-termination restrictions (such as non-compete and non-solicitation clauses)
- Notice periods, termination rights, dismissal grounds and garden leave
