TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The terms and conditions of employment you offer your people say a lot about you as a business. They need to balance what your employees expect against what you can afford. Applying the right terms and conditions will be crucial if you are to attract and retain the right people in your business. This will be especially important during a time of staff shortages in a particular market sector. Many legal rights can be enhanced into employee benefits and create a positive impression of you as an employer.

Together we can:

• review your terms and conditions as part of your overall reward package.
• ensure the terms and conditions you apply are consistent with the overall market in which you operate and that market best practice is applied.
• ensure the interests of your business are protected through appropriate clauses in terms and conditions such as conflict of interest, confidentiality, restraint of trade etc
• ensure you are able to act quickly to reflect new market conditions in your terms and conditions of employment.
• ensure you can easily apply appropriate terms and conditions to new groups of staff entering your business.
• plan your reward strategy accordance with your people plan.
• understand the terms and conditions requirements in new business ventures.
• document and communicate any changes to your employees in a positive and legally compliant way. This may include reviewing your company agreement or company handbook, changing policies or issuing new contracts of employment.
• benchmark your terms and conditions, pay and benefits against the market and help you to identify what good employers are doing. This could include approaches to holidays; maternity and paternity pay and leave; other forms of leave; sick pay; cars; business travel arrangements; childcare and other family commitments.
• understand how TUPE issues will affect terms and conditions.
