If you need a no-nonsense, cost-effective and safe way to create the correct legal framework when hiring staff, look no further.
What documents do I need?
Standard contract of employment
Most staff will require a standard contract of employment. This document covers all of the clauses required by law plus additional clauses to ensure the business is fully protected such as confidentiality.
Here is a full list of content and a sample document of the standard contract of employment.
Executive/Senior contract of employment
Senior team members such as Managers and Directors will require an Executive/Senior contract of employment. And like the standard contract of employment, this document includes all of the required clauses plus additional clauses design specifically to protect the business.
