LITIGATION AND WORKPLACE RELATIONS
Contract & Policy Reviews
Employment contracts should be reserved for the minimum terms and conditions to govern the relationship of employer and employee. Outside the minimum terms and conditions can be matters best reserved for policies. The advantage of policies is that if drafted carefully they govern expected behaviours of employees but do not become contractual terms. For example matters for policy can be bonuses and commission payments, bullying and harassment, social media use and expenses. Nevett Ford is experienced in reviewing employment contracts and policies to ensure that unnecessary overlap is avoided.
