Statement of employment

The statement must be given no later than 2 months after the beginning of their employment.

Even if the employment ends before the 2 month period expires, a statement of particulars of employment should still be sent to the ex-employee. The statement should also refer to the disciplinary procedures or rules that are in place.

What can we do?

Contracts of employment can be drafted by Oliver & Co to include not just the statutory requirements, but also to reflect your business needs, such as:

Restricting your employee from competing with your business if they leave
Restricting your employee from soliciting your customers, clients, introducers or employees if they leave
Confidentiality provisions
Mobility clauses
Flexible working

Employment documents

Bespoke documents are particularly important for senior employees and directors, or those staff who are in positions where, if they leave your employment, they can damage your business.

Please contact the employment team at Oliver & Co to discuss your contract and policy requirements and in return, receive a bespoke and up to date package tailored to your business needs.

We can also review your disciplinary, dismissal and grievance procedures to ensure that they are compliant with the ACAS Code of Practice. If amendments are required, we will advise you on them and draft those changes that need to be made, all for a competitive fixed fee which we will agree with you at the outset.

Alternatively, if you do not have any contracts, policies or procedures in place, we can create an appropriate framework for you, which makes sure that your business is fully compliant with your obligations under employment law and also protects your business from any commercial threat.
