Contracts and Policies

Employment Contracts

From April 2020, an employee has a statutory right to receive a written statement of the main terms and conditions of employment from their employer on the first day of their employment (at the latest) - if your existing team don't currently have a written contract, this is something that you need to provide

This written contract defines the working relationship between the employer and the employee or worker and should detail the following information as a minimum:

  • The name of both the employer and the employee
  • The date of employment and the continuous service date of the employee
  • The employee's job title (and duties, although the latter is optional)
  • Their place or base of work
  • Their hours / days of work
  • The employee's rate of pay or salary and the frequency / method of payment
  • Their holiday entitlement, including public holidays (if appropriate)
  • Training entitlement, requirements and whether it will be paid for by the employer
  • Details of other benefits, if any, not just those related to pay
  • Details, if any, of any collective agreements that may be applicable to the employment

In addition, the employee should also be informed of sickness procedures and pay, their pension entitlement / scheme, the organisation's disciplinary, grievance and appeals procedures. This information may be included in the written contract or may be available from other sources that are accessible to the employee, such as an e-file on the organisation's intranet, in the employee handbook, on noticeboards or in a policy folder in the main office / work space

If you need a contract or already have a contract but need it reviewing, we can prepare written terms and conditions to support the different types of working relationships within your business, whether that be for employees, workers, apprenticeships and interns or independent contractors

Policies and procedures

Policies on the other hand, clarify what is expected from the employer and employee in certain situations and the steps or process that both parties should follow when these situations occur. We can deliver bespoke training to your directors, managers and / or staff on the process described in a specific policy and the best way to implement it within your business

Both contracts and policies should be reviewed regularly to ensure that they reflect legislative amendments and current guidelines. If you require a document review for your business, please ask for help

Are your contracts and policies fit for purpose?

If you need a written contract, prices start from £325; if you just need an update or additional clause adding to an existing contract, prices start from £45; if you need a policy document to support new or existing ways of working; prices start from £60. Alternatively, if you want an existing contract or policy reviewing prior to any recommended changes being made, please get in touch

If you require Able2 Consulting to provide alternative contracts or agreements for different types of employees, this will be quoted for separately
