ALL HR TOOLKITS

As an employer, you’re responsible for preventing bribery in your workplace. And what’s more, you could end up in an employment tribunal if you don’t take this seriously ⚠

An anti-bribery policy can help to set super high standards in your business, by making it crystal clear what behaviour you expect from your employees.

To save you time, and to protect your business – I’ve pulled together a policy template for you to give to your new or existing employees.

Keep reading to find out more 👇

WHAT YOU’LL GET

In a nutshell, you'll get a top notch policy template, which makes it super clear to your employees, that you take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery & corruption And what’s more, it tells them what to do, should they need to make a complaint so you comply with your legal responsibilities.

Here's a bit more info:

✅ After purchase, a link to the template will be emailed to you instantly.

✅ You can easily personalise it, by adding your company logo.

✅ Should a question pop into your mind after purchase, you can contact me at any time.

✅ And if the law changes – as it sometimes does – you’ll get access to an updated version.

WHY YOU SHOULD GET THIS TEMPLATE

👉 Most responsible employers like you, will want to do the right thing and create a positive working environment, where people are looked after and feel respected. This policy helps to reinforce that.

👉 You can find yourself in hot water legally, if you don’t put the right things in place to prevent and stamp out bullying and harassment in your workplace.

👉 In fact, GOV.UK tribunal statistics show that in 2018/19, there were 114 discrimination claims awarded compensation for: race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and age discrimination. The largest ever UK award for sex discrimination amounted to a whopping £1,762,130 in 2015/16. Oh, and there’s no cap on the fines compensation for discrimination claims.

MY TOP TIP

💡 As the boss, always set a super example, by personally clamping down on any bad behaviours in your workplace. Even if it's just 'banter', and people are joining in, you won't know how people feel on the inside. If you tolerate it as the boss, you're essentially saying it's ok.

So, I’m guessing you’re here because you're hiring an Apprentice and now you need a contract template to send to them.   

If so, let me tell you a bit more about this Apprenticeship Agreement Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.  

WHAT'S AN APPRENTICESHIP?

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with studying towards a work-based qualification, typically one day a week, from GCSEs or equivalent up to degree level. It usually takes between one and four years to complete an apprenticeship.

Adding an apprentice to your team can be brilliant for a small business because it's a great way to develop new skills, grow your business and foster loyalty.

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR AN APPRENTICE?

Well firstly, it's the law and part of the Rules.

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 apprentice, this is the number one document that can help you.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive Apprenticeship offer letter and Apprenticeship Agreement Template, is instantly emailed to you in Microsoft Word format. It's 100% compliant with the laws of England & Wales and is designed to protect you and your business if things were ever to go horribly wrong.

THE LEGAL BIT

For the purposes of the Fixed-term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2002 (SI 2002/2034), a fixed-term employee is one employed under a contract of employment that will terminate on:

• The expiry of a specific term e.g. 6-months;
• The completion of a particular project or task; or

Where an employee has been continuously employed on a series of successive fixed-term contracts for four years or more, they will automatically achieve permanent status, unless there is an objective reason that justifies a further renewal for a fixed term.

Workplace disputes can be a nightmare for small business owners 😰 They’re emotionally draining, time consuming, and can cost the earth.

One way to avoid them, is to get written proof that your staff have read and understood the HR policies contained within your employee handbook 👍

That’s where my disclaimer form comes in. And what’s more, you can use it for both new and existing employees.

WHY YOU NEED THIS FORM

Picture the scene. Your employee is off sick, but hasn’t followed your procedure for reporting the absence. When you confront them about it, they say they didn’t know what the right procedure was?! 🤔

With my form, you can stop this situation from happening in the first place. Or if it does happen, at least you have something solid to fall back on.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

A link to a one-page form in Microsoft Word format – that arrives in your email inbox within seconds. Just download it and give it to your employee to sign to say that they’ve received and read your employee handbook and agree to comply to it. Then keep it in a safe place. Simple!

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've applied for some funding via the Kickstart Scheme and now you need a contract template to send to them.   

If so, let me tell you a bit more about this Kickstart Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.  

WHAT'S THE KICKSTART SCHEME?

The Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion fund to create hundreds of thousands of high quality 6-month work placements for young people, fully funded by the Government. So, you can have people work for you, and receive funding from the Goverment to pay for it. 

However, there are a few stipulations which employers need to adhere to in order to receive the wage subsidy. The Kickstart Scheme job placements must: 

• Last six months 
• Be at least 25 hours per week (employers can top-up wages if the role is over this) 
• Include support for young people to help them get work after they finish their Kickstart Scheme job (if not taken on longer term following the placement) 
• Be ‘additional’ – this means the job would not exist without Kickstart Scheme grant funding and must not replace existing/planned jobs or cause existing employers or contractors to reduce their employment.  

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR KICKSTART WORK PLACEMENT?

Well firstly, it's the law and part of the Kickstart Rules.

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, this is the number one document that can make or break your business.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive job offer letter and Kickstart 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?

It’s tempting to download a cheap or freebie template elsewhere. But as a smart business owner, I'm sure you know that you don't get anything good for free. Here's why this Employment Contract Template is perfect for you 👇

✅ I know you're busy, but equally I'm sure you don't want to compromise on quality. I’ve poured 18 years of HR experience into creating this, to offer you the BEST contract template I can. 

✅ With my easy to follow instructions, you can top and tail it in minutes to make it your own. And what’s more, you can re-use it time and again as your workforce grows 👍 

✅ It’s written in a language EVERYONE can understand, to eliminate all future disputes. This is to stop you and your employee signing up to something you might not really understand.

✅ As you get an updated version for free every time the law changes, this price is actually a complete steal! It works out under 50p per day, for one year. So, if you plan to be in business for a while, and have big growth plans, you're totally sorted. 

STILL NOT SURE  IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU?

I'd love to have a chat and answer any questions you have. So, feel free to book a consultation with me or drop me an email on mandy@modernhr.co.uk and I'll get straight back to you.

Loads of small business owners use the services of self-employed contractors or freelancers. They’re a great way to bring specific expertise into your company, without having to recruit a permanent employee.  

You can’t use them forever though – otherwise HMRC could be on your back for IR35 (where they think you have a disguised employee)!

So, when the time comes to part company, make sure you’re protected from any negative repercussions that could crop up in the future. For example, I’ve come across contractors claiming they weren’t told an agreement had ended, leaving the small business owner with an unexpected invoice to settle months later 😱

WHY THIS LETTER IS SUPER IMPORTANT

It’ll better protect you from:

💷 Any future misunderstandings over money owed.

⚠ It serves as a reminder to your contractor or freelancer – of any contract obligations they still may have, even if they’re no longer working for you. For example, a non-compete agreement where you’ve specified they can’t work for one of your competitors. Or, an intellectual property clause, that spells out who owns any assets they may have created for you – like a logo for example.

💯 It’s 100% compliant with English law.

👌 It makes you look MEGA professional.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

✔ After you’ve paid, a link will be emailed to you in a jiffy – so you can download the letter – which comes in Microsoft Word format.

✔ You can top and tail it, so it reflects your own brand identity with your logo.

✔ You can re-use it again and again – as you go on to hire more self-employed contractors or freelancers.

✔ If you’ve any queries after you’ve purchased my letter – I’m totally here for you!

MY TOP TIP

👌 If you’re parting company on great terms – which I’m sure you are – use this letter as a prop to formally wrap things up, and thank your contractor for what they’ve done for you. In my experience, self-employed contractors and freelancers are very well connected – simply because of the nature of their work status. So, this could be an opportunity for them to be an advocate of your brand ❤

Knowing what to say (and do) when an employee tells you they are pregnant, can be a dilemma. On one hand, you are delighted for them. But on the other, you're thinking about the legal steps you need to take, how much it's going to cost and how you'll cope without them and the hassle of finding their replacement.

 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Template - Which you can go through with your employee to identify ask tasks they may not longer be able to do. There are two versions (one for office workers and one for women doing more manual labour e.g. pickers and packers, beauticians hairdressers etc. which could involve heavy lifting or exposure to chemicals)

 Maternity Leave Letter Template - which sets out their entitlements, start date, return date, keeping in touch days and pay etc.

👉 In fact, GOV.UK tribunal statistics show that in 2018/19, there were 114 discrimination claims awarded compensation for: race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and age discrimination. The largest ever UK award for sex discrimination amounted to a whopping £1,762,130 in 2015/16. Oh, and there’s no cap on the fines compensation for discrimination claims.

MY TOP TIP

💡 As the boss, always set a super example, by personally clamping down on any bad behaviours in your workplace. Even if it's just 'banter', and people are joining in, you won't know how people feel on the inside. If you tolerate it as the boss, you're essentially saying it's ok.

This Zero Hours Contract is ideal when you need a casual worker or Intern on a flexible basis i.e. for ad hoc or seasonal work. 

Essentially this is a contract with no guaranteed hours (zero hours). You simply offer them work, when you have it, and pay them for the hours they work, but by law they don't have to accept the work you offer. This person would usually be on your payroll (PAYE).

Examples of work that might require a zero-hour contract might include:

• Bank work (for example, for the NHS)
• Students or interns who can only work during university holidays
• Delivery driving / gig economy work (for example, delivering takeaway food or giving car rides during busy periods)
• Hospitality work e.g waitresses to cover busy periods
• Retail work e.g. pickers, packers etc to handle seasonal high demands.
• Warehouse work

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT

Well firstly, it's the law. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you (and not getting from you), i.e. their hours of work, holidays, sick pay etc.

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

In this template, it clarifies this person is a worker (not an employee) and covers the following situations, and many more:

👌 This is a zero hours contract, with no guaranteed pay or hours

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

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

💷 Caveats - to avoid paying your casual workers when you shouldn’t have to

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

🤔 Termination clause - just in case things don't work out

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.
