Contracts that helps you manage

If you are running a standard business with standard staff then a standard ‘contract’ may work for you.  Employment law is often approached as if contracts of employment are simply about compliance.  A simple standard contract works for a simple standard business.

There is really no such thing.  If you just take a copy of a contract issued by a company you used to work for and give it to your staff you will quickly find you don’t have the organisational structure to make that contract work for you.

Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes may do wonders for your understanding of their life, but doing the same in their contractual shoes will normally turn out badly.  Employment law is about so much more than compliance (and making you walk in the wrong shoes)

If you are : –

• a high-heeled diva kind of organisation, those hob nailed boots will ruin your style.
• a heavy-duty walk in the country type of organisation, those silver sandals will break
• a marathon runner, those city slicker shoes will cramp your style
• a barefoot freestyle runner, your may cut your feet on city streets.

Your journey from start-up to success is a long road to travel.  Taking that trip without organising well-fitting contracts of employment for your staff (and freelance worker agreements) will give you a lot more than blisters.
