Employment contracts
If you want to create or review an employment contract, call us at Cleaver Thompson Solicitors in Alfreton and Clay Cross.
Ensure you get it right
Employment contracts need to be very carefully worded to protect both the employer and the employee. Ensure you get it right by contacting the experts at Cleaver Thompson Solicitors.
A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT
Employment contracts can be called a variety of names; employment agreements, staff contracts of employment or contract of employment – but they all serve the same purpose. They should clearly set out exactly what is expected of both parties, such as the employee’s duties and responsibilities; and the employment conditions, such as holiday entitlement, pay and working hours. Once the contract has been signed, it is a legally binding agreement, and both parties are liable if it is breached.
Expert advice on all employment contracts
We can provide expert advice on all employment contracts, so if you have been asked to sign a contract and you have concerns or queries, or your existing contract is being changed, you can contact us to make sure your interests are protected. Be aware that acceptance of a new job, even if you don’t sign the contract, is also taken as acceptance of the terms. It’s important that you read through the contract carefully and you are satisfied before you sign it.
A wise investment
If you are an employer and you want to ensure that your contract of employment includes everything it should, then you can contact us to make sure the contract is worded correctly, and it is clear and unambiguous. Investing time and money in writing your employment contracts could save you a lot of time and money in the future, if a disgruntled employee uses any discrepancies to take you to Employment Tribunal.
