Employee Relations & Employment Agreements
Protect yourself with an AEL Legal employment agreement
The law requires all employers, without exception, to have a detailed and signed employment agreement with each employee. Employers must provide each employee with a copy of the agreement which must comply with the Employment Relations Act, 2000. Without them you are breaking the law and risking a heavy financial penalty from the Employment Relations Authority.
Many employers rely on verbal agreements or brief letters of employment. Or, where employment agreements do exist, they are often not reviewed and updated to meet changes in employment law.
In the absence of a proper written employment agreement the courts tend to favour the employee. So make sure that you have a proper, written employment agreement that is tailored to the character and needs of your business and your employees.
