These latest changes to law mean it is now more important than ever for all employers to have proper contracts of employment in place for their staff and to make sure they have a compliant dispute resolution procedure within their company.

Failure to do this could mean that if a member of staff takes you to an employment tribunal you will not only lose by default, but you will also have to pay 50% higher fines.

A contract of employment exists as soon as an employee starts work, thus indicating that he or she accepts terms and conditions offered by employer.

Often contract is agreed orally and is not written down. However, an employer is usually required by law to give all employees who have been in employment for at least one month, written details of main particulars of their employment.

Improve Effective Planning

Problems most often arise from poor planning. Sometimes we’re uncertain if we’re tackling correct issues and dealing with them right way. However, we can improve our assumptions about processes and performance with more effective auditing.

Keep Objective Records
