Employee Contract & Staff Handbook Review

With the new gig economy, and numerous ways which employees and workers are now engaged employers will need an array of different contracts complimented by employee handbooks reflecting the latest developments in workforce development including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

For self-employed individuals, consultancy agreements based upon contractor only, or through third party service companies need careful drafting.

Key Considerations

• Section 1 particulars must be issued from day one.
• Seniority changes may render old contracts unenforceable.
• Homeworking and other flexible arrangements need express terms.

Templates and Agreements

• Employment contracts: full-time, part-time, fixed-term, flexible, zero-hours.
• Directors’ service agreements and consultancy contracts.
• IR35 and off-payroll working arrangements.
• Policy suites for staff handbooks.
