Employment
Employment contract
Employment law can seem like it changes every year, and, in some instances, this really is the case. Staying on your toes is vital, if you want to ensure you are up to date, compliant and avoid falling into some common pitfalls. Howells offer in-depth knowledge, and we have the experienced lawyers to ensure that your business has all the necessary documentation in place.
Getting things off to the right start is important in business, but in employment law it is a necessity. Employees are entitled to have a contract of employment from the day they start work. In addition, having up to date and fully compliant policies and procedures that reflect your legal obligations as well as the needs of your business, is important to ensure transparency and fairness in your working relationship with employees.
At Howells, our expert employment lawyers can review your documents, offer employment contract advice, and help you to draft the appropriate contracts of employment to fit all working patterns and levels of seniority. We can also prepare Staff Handbooks fit for purpose and provide you with template documentation to assist you in complying with your HR and employment obligations. Employment law changes, and when it does, we will be there to help amend contracts and Handbooks where necessary and advise on any new employment law obligations, well in advance of them taking effect. Whatever level of guidance and support you require, at whatever stage of the employment process – our team can help.
