Employment Contracts
If you employ
people, you don't have to have written employment
contracts. But you do have to provide employees
with "a statement of terms of their employment", so
you may as well produce a proper contract that you
can rely on.
Before
StartNewBusiness.com, there were several ways of
creating your employment contracts:
- Make your own
by struggling through the different pieces of
employment legislation
- Spend hundreds
of pounds on getting a solicitor to draw one up
for you
- Buy a "one size
fits all" contract from a legal stationer
We do things
differently. We provide you with a sample
employment contract, created specially for your
business. Think of it like a suit adjusted for you,
rather than straight off the peg, or
tailor-made.
All our contracts
are created by experienced lawyers. However,
because we do not know all your specific
circumstances, we do recommend that you consult
your solicitor to check that it is a perfect fit
for you and your employees, before you use it. What
we do is save your solicitor from starting from
scratch, and so save you hundreds of pounds.
Your sample
contracts are provided on CD-Rom, so you can use
them as many times as you like.
The help doesn't
end there, because as a StartNewBusiness customer,
you get access to our Members Area, where you can
find plain-English guides to employment law topics
such as stakeholder pensions, working time and
health & safety legislation.

Confidentiality
Agreements
If you are
discussing confidential information with clients,
finance providers, or anyone else, confidentiality
agreements are essential to protect your
intellectual property. They are even important to
prevent your employees from taking your business
secrets and using them elsewhere.
Many businesses
have failed to take this precaution, and have paid
the price.
Your
StartNewBusiness package comes with sample
confidentiality agreements for different scenarios,
each created specially for your business, so you
don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on getting a
lawyer to draw them up for you.

Terms of
Business
Most businesses
need to have standard terms of business, so that
you have clear terms in the case of a dispute. Even
more importantly, terms of business ensure that you
and your customer have the same understanding of
your deal. Many arguments arise because the two
sides have made different assumptions, and the
argument often sours a good business relationship.
Terms of business help avoid this.
Your
StartNewBusiness package comes with draft standard
terms, tailored specially for you, and up to date
with the current law. We also provide a brief guide
on how to make them enforceable.

legal advice.
