Employer Essentials Toolkit

For small and medium sized businesses, the legal requirements around employing staff can seem overwhelming at first. There is a lot to consider: absence management, your data protection policy and equal opportunities policy to name just a few. 

With that in mind, we’ve put together our Employer’s Essentials Toolkit a package of everything a small to medium sized business owner needs to ensure you have legally compliant employment documents in place from the outset, for a fixed fee, helping you to manage cost.

What’s included in the package?

Our Employer Essentials Toolkit includes the following template contract and handbook essentials: 

• An employer contract template

• A draft job offer letter

• A termination of employment letter

• Data protection policy

• Absence management policy

• Grievance policy

• Disciplinary and capability policy

• Equal opportunities policy

• Anti-harassment and bullying policy

 The documents are in a detailed template form and include easy to understand explanatory notes to guide small to medium sized businesses on the legal requirements involved in employment contracts and policies.

At £400 +VAT the Toolkit represents excellent value for money, helps pave the way for a smoother employment relationship and reduces the risk of unwelcome claims.

Why are employment contracts and policies important?

Whilst it may be tempting to download a free template online, such templates may not be compliant with the law and often have limited use as the working relationship progresses. The Employment Rights Act 1996 outlines the compliance requirements for an employee’s terms and conditions. Our template ticks the boxes to ensure it is compliant but also contains important information to get the employment relationship off to a reliable start, running as smoothly as possible, and helps protect your business from employment-related claims. It should answer many of the queries that arise naturally in the course of the employment relationship and make managing your staff easier.

Our professionally curated toolkit will help to protect your business’ interests for the long run by giving you the essential legal guidance you need as an employer. From the hiring to firing process and everything in between, our toolkit will help you set up the employment contracts and policies you need to establish a good working relationship, based on a mutual and legal understanding, with your employees.  Our documents have been drafted by legal professionals with practicality and compliance in mind.
