When you recruit any new employee you are obliged to provide them with a statement of certain terms of their employment. This is another administrative matter to be dealt with, but is vital as the contract is the basis of the employment relationship between employee and employer. If a written contract is not provided, it could be left to Employment Tribunal to decide what terms should be implied into the contract, and so it is always preferable to ensure that all contractual terms are understood by both parties at the beginning of the relationship. I will provide such contracts for hourly and management employees including at director level.
