Employment Law Info

Introducing shorter working hours

We continue to get a lot of queries about putting staff on short time working and so we repeat advice published in an earlier issue.

One member recently began his query with the comment 'I assume there's no problem about putting one of the lads on a three day week'. Wrong!

Each employee must have a statement of their 'Terms of Employment'

In addition to the record keeping material every employee must have a statement of their 'Terms & Conditions of Employment'. (NB This is not the same as a 'Contract of Employment')

We can email or send you this template on disk, or in hard copy as you wish.

Consultation & Grievance Procedures

Every year ACBI represents a small number of its members at employment tribunals. They had never planned on being there. But it's relatively easy to plan for NOT being there. Ensure that you won't end up there.
