Employment contracts that fit your business
Help preparing or reviewing contracts, so that each role has clear terms and what is agreed in writing matches how you work.
Other ways we can help
The situation
Clear terms from day one.
A contract is the written record of the terms on which someone is employed. When it is out of date, copied from a template or silent on something that later matters, it can make everyday management harder.
We can review the contracts you use now, prepare new ones for new roles, and talk through how to approach changes to existing terms.
This may suit you if
- You are taking on your first employee
- Your contracts have not been looked at for some time
- You are creating a new type of role
- You want to change terms for existing staff and are unsure how to approach it

Questions
Common questions
Not covered here? Ask us directly and we will get back to you.
What is the difference between a contract and a handbook?
A contract sets out the terms of one person’s employment. A handbook explains how things work across the business: policies, expectations and where to find help. They should agree with each other. See our employee handbook support.
Can you review the contracts we already use?
Yes. Send us a brief description of what you have and we will talk through what a review would involve.
Does every employee need the same contract?
Not necessarily. Roles and arrangements differ, so we can talk through what each one needs.
