Employee handbook
Guide Price £250.00 plus V.A.T.
Use this 'Employee handbook' to set out all the non-contractual issues relating to employment, including key administrative procedures. By doing so, and by complying with the policies and procedures set out in it, you will minimise the risk of potential employee lawsuits, such as discrimination, harassment and unfair dismissal and reduce the risk of having to appear before an Employment Tribunal which can cost thousands of pounds. In addition to all the subjects which must be included in the handbook, such as maternity leave and grievance procedure, etc., there are also optional clauses which you may choose to include. These include clauses relating to company cars, dress code, alcohol and drug testing, bonus schemes and stress at work, amongst others.

Licence for an employee to occupy residential accommodation
Guide Price £85.00 plus V.A.T.
This is a licence for an employee to occupy property owned by their employer on the basis that it is necessary for the employee to live in the property for the better performance of their duties. If this basis cannot be established then the employee will have a tenancy agreement and not a licence. If an employer has a lease for the property (usually associated with ownership of flats) or is renting the property from a third party, then it should check whether it requires permission from the landlord before granting this licence. Please note that this document is not suitable for use in Scotland.

Note that this document is not suitable for consultants working in the health and care industry or who would have contact with children or vulnerable adults.

Discipline and dismissal
Compromise agreement
Guide Price £165.00 plus V.A.T.
If an employer and employee are in dispute then they may formally settle that dispute by entering into a legally binding contract called a compromise agreement. A compromise agreement can be used to settle any disputes which would otherwise have to be settled by the employment tribunal or county court. A compromise agreement will usually provide an employee with compensation. In return, the employee will agree not to pursue any legal claim that he or she may have against the employer (as well as agreeing to any further conditions that the employer may impose).
