An Employment Law expert from the Bira Legal advice line team presented an essential overview of contracts and handbooks in this webinar exclusive to Bira members. Bira members can watch back and read the FAQ.
Last month, Bira Legal hosted a free webinar exclusively for Bira members, alongside employment law specialists WorkNest, 'Contracts and Handbooks Made Simple'.
The webinar explored an essential overview of contracts and handbooks, including why every employer needs them, what the law requires, and how to avoid common pitfalls that could leave your business exposed.
During the session, we received lots of great questions, so we’ve compiled a short FAQ answering some of the most common ones.
Get clarity on:
• Contracts for part-time and full-time staff
• Rules on different roles in your shop
• Handling probation periods
