Contracts of Employment

Contract of Employment Solicitor

With any job offer, it's worth checking that your rights will be maintained and reflects your expectations both during and after you've been employed.

An employment contract is not required under employment law when an employee commences work, however a well drafted written statement, detailing main responsibilities of the job role is required within the first two months of employment. A comprehensive employment contract can serve in protecting your business from an employee making a claim against you or other situations involving your employees that could be harmful to your business.

We cover off obligations at all stages from:

• Commencement of employment;
• Flexibility for effective management during employment;
• Restrictions designed to prevent anti-competitive behaviour;
• Special provisions needed for directors;
• Drafting and calculation of bonus payments; and
• Obligations upon termination of employment.

Our employment solicitors are employment law experts with huge experience in contract advice for employers and employees – both writing contracts and advising on breach of employment contract issues.
