Contracts and policies

The contracts that you have with employees not only serve to document the agreement between you, but exactly how your obligations should be fulfilled.

Mark Minns is experienced in drafting and implementing a wide range of contractual documents, and in ensuring that your interests and those of your business are properly recorded.

As a minimum you should have contract terms in place with all of your employees, including short term or seasonal employees. We can assist you in producing contractual documents that are easy to read and understand and which put you in a strong position should a dispute arise.

For most employers an employment handbook containing policies and procedures and a standard employment contract will suffice. We can draft such documents for a fixed fee and tailor them to your business. Please contact us for further details and a fee quote.

Mark Minns has drafted documents including:

  • Contracts of employment for general staff
  • Directors’ Service Agreements
  • Employment Handbooks
  • Bonus schemes
  • Secondment agreements
  • Salary sacrifice arrangements
  • Compromise agreements
