Within the first eight weeks of employment, it is a legal requirement that all companies provide employees with a contract of employment. It is also crucial that every employer has policies and procedures appropriate to the business in place. These commonly cover disciplinary; grievance; equal opportunities; retirement and health and safety issues along with other policy documents such as company handbooks.
It is important to remember that contracts and policy documents should be tailored to the needs of the business. They should be regularly updated to ensure that they reflect changes in the workplace and legislation and will ultimately allow the employer to take control of and protect their business.
