Employment Contracts
Many of the disputes we deal with on a day-to-day basis stem from the fact that there is no written contract of employment governing the relationship between employer and employee. A written contract could reduce disputes between employer and employee as both parties fully understand the terms and conditions of the employment relationship and also it enables an employer to confirm in writing the standards expected of the employee. It also enables an employer to protect its business interest for example by having carefully draft restrictive covenants.
Our specialist Employment Solicitors have considerable experience in drafting and advising on contracts of employment to ensure both employers and employees know where they stand which helps alleviate potential disputes.
Even if a detailed written contract is not required, the law states that basic terms of conditions must be provided to an employee. Failure to comply with providing these particulars of employment could result in an increase in compensation in the event an employment claim arises.
Our specialist Employment Solicitors can advise you on your employment contract and help explain in plain English what you are signing up to and the implications. At Myers Lister Price Solicitors we are committed to being transparent with our costs and will always consider fixed fee work where possible.
