As legislation around hiring and managing staff becomes ever more complicated, the only way to protect your business is to make sure you have the right policies and paperwork in place.

Employing a member of staff can seem like a mammoth task, especially if you’re taking on your first employee. Employment contracts are prepared to protect both the employer and employee with terms and conditions governing their relationship in writing rather than relying on verbal agreements. 

Hiring

Hiring a member of staff involves a whole host of documentation from the Job Description all the way through to the Employment Agreement. Fortunately, LawEasier has all the documents you’ll need in hiring your new member of staff, these can be found within our hiring pack.      

Disciplinary

Sometimes, things can go wrong with employees. Many of these issues can be solved informally with a ‘quiet word’. However, when an issue can’t be resolved informally then it may need to be pursued formally. Our Disciplinary pack covers disciplinaries, dismissal and appeals.

Homeworking

Homeworking is where staff work away from the workplace. The concepts of having 'family friendly' policies, 'flexible working' and having a 'work-life balance' frequently require employers to consider the potential for homeworking. Our homeworking pack covers the policy and risk assessment for homeworking.

Work Experience

This pack is suitable for individuals above the mandatory school leaving age of 16 who want to gain unpaid work experience or become an unpaid intern. Due to additional regulatory requirements, these documents are not suitable for students who are still at school or who are under the mandatory school leaving age (16).
