Statements of Employment and Handbooks

Do you have contracts of employment for all your staff?

Under the Employment Rights Act 1996 there is a legal requirement for an employer to issue written details about their main terms and conditions of employment (Statement of Particulars) for all staff within 8 weeks of them joining your business - full time or part-time.

Do you have staff handbooks for your staff?

With contracts in place, many businesses compile all their “people policies” into one comprehensive handbook which can also form part of the contract. As legislation changes, so does the amount of information and guidance employers/employees need. Staff Handbooks tell the employee much more about the company including summary details of its personnel and employment policies and procedures. It would typically include things like:

· Maternity/Paternity and Working Parent Policies
· Policies on Age & Retirement
· Smoking Policy
· Harassment/Victimisation Policy

With our experience and expertise, we can create and compile an effective Handbook for your business, putting everything into one place and keeping it up to date.
