Preventing staff risks through contract design and documentation

Many workplaces are indifferent to employment documentation, and the risks associated with a lack of documentation may not be recognised in advance. The lack of written documentation can lead to considerable financial losses in the event of labour disputes. 

Careful drafting of employment contracts, minutes, memos and other agreements can help avoid the usual pitfalls. For example, in the whistleblower process, the documentation requirements are also highlighted, as the employer has the burden of proving that it did the right thing.

The training will provide you with practical tools for risk management, from employment contracts to termination agreements.

The training will provide answers to questions such as:

  • What kind of conditions should be included in employment contracts in practice, so as to anticipate changes?
  • What kind of documentation should be prepared on the whistleblower process?
  • What form should written workplace guidelines take so as not to unnecessarily limit the employer's options for dealing with challenging situations?
  • Is it worth documenting your management discussions?
  • In what form is the warning given?
    What is the documentation related to termination of employment?
  • How and when must the employee be consulted? Are there minutes of the hearing? What is written in the termination notice?
  • In which situations should you agree to terminate the employment relationship by mutual agreement as an alternative to dismissal?
  • What kind of conditions should or can be included in the termination agreement?

The training can be delivered remotely or face-to-face.
