Business Roadmaps Built Exactly To Your Needs

Legal compliance requires that the correct people management policies and procedures are in place. However, many organizations are following out of date practices through a lack of awareness of recent employment legislation. A contract of employment generally consists of the job offer, terms and conditions of employment, company procedures and policies, such as disciplinary terms and grievances, and employment laws, such as maternity leave, unfair dismissal and annual leave. It has to be made explicit to the employee which behavior is expected and which is not acceptable. Should an employee have a problem or a complaint, they should know who they should approach. In the case of absence due to illness, the employee should also know the required procedure.

The contract of employment commences as soon as the employee has accepted the job offer and the new employee should receive a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment. The written statement should include information such as a detailed job description, compensation and benefits, employment period and scheduled working hours, probationary period if relevant, time off, sick days and vacation policy, confidentiality agreement where applicable, termination terms and conditions and requirements or restrictions after termination of contract. It is possible that there may arise a need for a change in the contract. However, this can only be done when this change is agreed to by both the employer and the employee.
