Writing up new contract
Discussion
I am in the position to take on one or two new staff and with this I need to have a company staff contract for them.
Is there a generic work contract that can be tailored to your own person situation or is it a case of writing one up with a solicitor and going through the minefield that is employment law?
Hi Kev
Not really related to this particular topic but I've tried responding to the e-mail you sent me but it has bounced back. I am repeating what I wrote below:
Hi Kev
Accountancy firms vary greatly in their approaches to dealing with clients.
Many, especially the mid to large size firms, have a tendancy to devote more
time to their larger clients - mainly because these clients are more complex
and are willing to pay higher fees. As a result, smaller clients may be
shunted downwards to the "lower" levels of staff with minimal involvement
from the partners.
That is not true in all cases, but I've seen it happen.
If you are disatisfied with the service you are receiving, or have an
inkling that you should be getting more from them, why not tell them(if you
haven't already). Of course, if you do ask them to do more for you, they
will want to charge you more. Although fees should always be open to
discussion and negotitaion.
From what you are saying, you provide them with some basic figures which may
or may not be of assistance to them .
Do you provide them with these figures every month or just once a year?
Would you want them to prepare mamagement figures on a regular basis?
Are you operating through a limited company?

Like a pair of shoes, if you borrow someone elses its likely that arter a while they will become uncomfortable - as they are not right for you.
As an Employment Lawyer my advice would be to get a proper job done in the first place, Contracts have generic must have parts, but it pays to have them made for your business.

An employment contract off the net wont protect you in the ways you would want protecting. If you can get a pro to knock this up pretty quickly for a couple of hundred quid, then this is a bargain compared to the cost that employment disputes can cost later.
