Employment Contracts - essentials for your first employee
1. Contract of employment
Did you know that you have to issue a contract of employment on or before someone’s first day of work? The fine for not doing so is up to 4 weeks wages, plus of course the hassle, time and cost of defending the claim at an Employment Tribunal!
A contract of employment is a legally required document that protects you as the employer and your business, and there are many different types to choose from, depending on how they will be working for you and how often they will be working for you, so you need to make sure that you issue the right contract of employment for your employee.
2. Written Disciplinary & Grievance Policy
Did you also know, that it’s a legal requirement to have written Disciplinary and Grievance Policies?

Already got a contract?
When was it last reviewed? Is it fit for purpose and legally compliant?
Chances are you have “taken” this from your last employment or a friend has provided it to you and you’ve updated it to suit your needs, or you’ve downloaded it from a website! But when was it last reviewed? Does it protect what’s important to you in your business, and is it legally compliant?
We will comprehensively review your contract of employment for just £99 and provide you with a summary of the areas that are legally compliant, any missing areas and what could be improved. If you decide to go ahead and ask us to update your current contract of employment or you’d like us to provide you with a totally new contract of employment, the £99 is deducted from the cost of providing you with a bang up to date and legally compliant contract which is £375.
Employee Handbook
Employee Handbooks from just £500.
Includes policies on everything you need to recruit, retain, develop and exit employees.
A Staff Handbook is an important document as it lets your employees know that this is the way you do things. It’s tailored to your specific requirements and to suit the tone, culture and language of your business. An up to date Employee Handbook will ensure that you meet employment legislation and ACAS best practice guidelines.
