Start the New Year Right: Review Your Employment Contracts

As we step into a new year, many of us take the opportunity to reflect and refresh—our workplaces should be no different. One vital area that employers often overlook is their employment contracts. Regularly reviewing these documents is not just a good practice; it’s essential.

Employment laws and regulations are constantly evolving. Over time, changes in legislation or case law can mean that standard terms in your contracts may no longer comply with legal requirements or adequately protect your business. Additionally, as your company grows and adapts, your employment contracts should evolve too, reflecting changes in roles, responsibilities, and business priorities.

By undertaking an annual review, you ensure your contracts:

• Remain legally compliant with the latest employment legislation.
• Accurately reflect the expectations and rights of both parties.
• Protect your organisation from potential disputes.

At Franklins Solicitors, our Employment Law team understand the challenges of managing employment relationships. To make things easier for you, we offer a Contract Health Check service. This tailored review gives you peace of mind, ensuring your contracts are up-to-date, robust, and fit for purpose.

Let us help you start the year with confidence. Get in touch to schedule your Contract Health Check and take the first step towards safeguarding your business in 2025.
