Did you know that you the law says that you must give your employees a written statement of their employment particulars within two months
of their start date? We would advise giving them this document when you offer them a job. That way there can be no doubt what terms and
conditions they have agreed to work under, and you have the opportunity to ensure that any conditions you wish to rely on - such as the right
to request they work anti-social hours, or the right to change their place of work - are made part of the contract.
Many disputes can be avoided by ensuring that all your terms and conditions, policies and procedures are agreed at the start of employment.
Of course this means that you need to ensure all these documents meet the needs of your business. You also need to keep them up to date as
business requirements change and as new laws take effect.
Peter Etherington Employment Law Services writes all these documents for you and keeps them up to date. We make sure that
they meet your requirements rather than merely putting your business name to a set of standard templates. This is a genuinely bespoke service.
From time to time you may need to change some of the terms of your employees' contracts. The law stipulates that this can only be achieved by
both parties (you and your employees) agreeing to the changes. However, we can help you make the changes you need without facing claims of
breach of contract.
