The importance of clear, well-drafted documents cannot be overstated. They set the tone for how the employment relationship will be governed and provide protection for both the employee and the employer.

What is the first thing I should do in the event of an employee issue?
The policies or handbook should be the first port of call in the event of an employee dispute as they should ideally set out the procedure to be adopted and followed so that everyone knows what to expect.
We can review and advise on any changes to current Contracts, Policies or Handbooks or we can provide bespoke documents tailored to your business. If you wish to make changes to your documents and would like us to advise you on making changes and implementing them then we would be happy to help.
