We are employment solicitors offering  specialist employment law advice for employers based in Central London EC1. Call us today to learn how we can help you put effective UK employment contracts and policies  in place. 

Tailor Made Employment Contracts, policies and procedures:

You are welcome to make use of the free employment contract pro forma referred to above. However we would recommend that you seek advice for an employment contract specifically drafted to reflect your needs. Issues that arise on which you may need specific advice include:

- What happens if the employees references are not satisfactory.
- Ensuring that the employee will be obliged to work additional hours if required.
- Ensuring flexibility in the type of work carried out, and where it is carried out.
- Opting out of the maximum 48 hour average working week.
- Whether bonuses are discretionary or contractual.
- What deductions can be made from pay and when.
- Holiday and bank holidays (especially for part-timers or casual workers), when holiday can be taken and
  whether it can be carried over or not.
- Whether any sick pay over and above SSP is contractual or discretionary.
- The right to require the employee to see a doctor of your choice.
- When time off for dental and other appointments should be taken.
- Security, dress and appearance, employers property.
- Protection of confidential information and intellectual property.
- Notice periods.
- Whether to reserve the right to give a payment in lieu of notice on termination, and/or put staff on 'garden
  leave'
- Dealing with Misconduct and Grievances
- Effective restrictions preventing your staff from poaching clients or colleagues after they leave.

We can also provide a full set of non-contractual policies and procedures. Employment law changes and develops all the time and it is easy for employers to become out of touch with the duties and obligations. Most busy employers need to keep their policies up to date in line with new legislation, to manage problems which arise with staff effectively and lawfully and to avoid spending large amounts of time and money doing so. We can therefore provide  non-contractual policies in addition to the employment contract including:

• Disciplinary • Email and IT • Equal Opportunities • Fire • Flexible Working • Grievance • Health and Safety • Maternity • Paternity • Parental Leave • Performance • Personal Data • Sickness Absence • Smoking etc • Time Off For Dependants • Vehicle Use. These will be tailored to the needs of your business and can be incorporated into a Staff Handbook if you wish.

Call us today on 0207 324 6271 so that we can discuss your particular needs and give you a quote.
