About the Book

This is a highly practical guide to best practice in the drafting of employment contracts. It provides advice on points to watch out for and the pros and cons of particular provisions. The book also contains over 100 model clauses, draft letters and contracts covering virtually every aspect of the employment relationship (including part-time work, fixed term contracts and changing terms and conditions). All of the clauses and precedents have been tried and tested by the author and have been saved on an accompanying CD-ROM for easy customisation. Drafting Employment Contracts is fully up-to-date, covering issues such as data protection, email and internet abuse, stress, sickness absence and specialised terms such as confidentiality and restrictive covenants. It will save practitioners a vast amount of time when dealing with the standard issues that they will commonly encounter, as well as some that are not so standard.

1. The start of the employment relationship; 2. The offer and written particulars; 3. Different types of contracts; 4. The 'Martini Contract' - 'Anywhere, any time, any place'; 5. The salary package and other financial terms and benefits; 6. Absence and sick pay; 7. Rules and standards of conduct; 8. Disciplinary procedures and performance reviews; 9. Grievances, harassment, bullying and 'whistleblowing'; 10. Notice; 11. Emails, the internet and data protection; 12. Restrictive covenants and confidentiality; 13. Compromise agreements.

Review :
'Gillian Howard's book ambitiously attempts to provide a comprehensive approach to drafting an employment contract and related polices, and covers a remarkable range of modern day issues such as term-time working and job shares. The book is packed with precedents and checklists; you might otherwise search a long time before finding such reference material in one place.' New Law Journal, 21st January 2005 'A highly practical guide ... employment law specialists, human resource professionals and others involved in drafting or varying employment contracts will welcome this comprehensive volume dealing with what remains the cornerstone of employment law.'
