Employment
Contracts
Ensure you are legally compliant and your business is protected with professionally drafted contracts tailored to your specific needs.
Legal Requirement
Why are they
necessary?
An employment contract must be provided to the new employee on or around their first day of work. It doesn’t matter if you employ full-time, part-time, or casual staff.
Overlooking this requirement is a legal minefield. It can lead to immediate tribunal proceedings, even while the employee is still on your payroll. A bespoke contract is your first line of defense.

Case Study
The Cost of a "Free"
Template
A client came to us after downloading a free contract template online. When a senior sales manager left to join a competitor, the client discovered their contract had no Restrictive Covenants.
"Because the contract was generic, they couldn't stop the ex-employee from poaching their top 5 clients the very next week."
We stepped in to draft robust, bespoke contracts for the remaining team, ensuring future protection of their intellectual property and client list.
