Frequently asked questions
What should an employment contract include?
Pay, hours, holiday, notice, place of work and job duties as a minimum, plus protective clauses such as confidentiality and, where appropriate, restrictive covenants.
How do I protect confidential information and clients?
Through carefully drafted confidentiality clauses and restrictive covenants that are no wider than necessary, so they remain enforceable. We tailor these to your business.
Do I need different contracts for different staff?
Often yes. Senior staff, workers and fixed-term employees may need different terms. We advise on the right suite of documents for your workforce.
