Employment Contracts

A contract of employment is an agreement between employer and employee, setting out a number of rights, duties and responsibilities, and is the basis of the employment relationship. Employees are entitled to a written statement, setting out the main particulars of employment, within two months of commencing work. An employer has a duty to provide an employee with a written statement although it may not contain all terms of employment.

It is important for both employees and employers to understand the terms of employment, as well as changes to employment terms.

We understand the needs of both employees and employers and the importance of regulating working relationships to avoid future disputes. We can assist to draft employment contracts and review existing contracts, advising both employers and employees as to their rights and responsibilities.
