Building a team is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you’ll ever do as a small business owner.

Get it right, and you achieve your goals faster. Get it wrong, or make a mistake, and it can drain your time and energy – and even leave you open to tricky legal problems, that could potentially scupper everything you’ve worked so damn hard to build up. 

But don't worry - I've created this HR Toolkit to set you up for success. I’ve poured 18 years of experience into this, to give you all the tools and templates to hire someone AMAZING and put in place the HR stuff you need to comply with the law.

👉 Part-Time - This is for an employee who will work part-time for you on a permanent basis e.g. Monday to Wednesday, 20 hours per week

👉 Fixed-Term - This is for an employee who will work for a fixed period and a temporary basis e.g for 6  or 12 months for a project or to cover maternity leave. 

👉 Kickstart Scheme - This is for an employee who you've hired under the Kickstart Scheme Programme

MY TOP TIP

💡Don’t just whizz this doc over to your employee via email – without any upfront explanation about what it is, why you're introducing it and why it’s so important 🙏

Allow them time to go through it properly (ideally 30 days) and give them the opportunity to ask you questions. That way, they’re more likely to remember the contents – and as a result – you’ll reduce the number of workplace problems you get in the future.

So, I’m guessing you’re here because you might need a contract for your new employee? Or maybe you've already got employees working for you, who don't have a contract? (One that you're happy with anyway).  

Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Let me tell you a bit more about this Employment Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.  

There are two options to choose from - Full-time employee (working a full week) or a part-time employee (working fewer hours per week e.g. 3 days per week or 3 hours, five days per week). 

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR AN EMPLOYEE

Well firstly, it's the law. Since 1 April 2020, you have to give all new employees a contract on their first working day. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you, i.e. their hours of work, holidays etc.

But, another important reason is that if things ever did go sour with your employee, or they tried to screw you over, this is the number one document that can make or break your business.

In this template, it covers the following situations, and many more:

😡 Confidentiality - so they can't share your strategies and secrets

😢 Non-compete agreements - in case they get poached by your competition

💬 Clarity - to prevent misunderstandings over what they’re entitled to

😈 Intellectual property – so YOU own this and not your employee

💷 Caveats - to avoid paying employees when you shouldn’t have to

⚖ GDPR - so you comply with the law by getting consent to hold their data

🤔 Probation periods - just in case things don't work out 

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive job offer letter and Employment Contract Template, is instantly emailed to you in Microsoft Word format. It's 100% compliant with the laws of England and is designed to protect you and your business if things were ever to go horribly wrong. And when the law changes, and I update this template, you'll get the new version for free. 

👉 Plus, you'll get my easy-peasy instructions on how to personalise your contract, along with notes and FAQs. These explain the very important clauses and how they’ll protect you – as well as how to send it your employee and what they need to do.

WHY GET THIS CONTRACT?
