Employment contract advice FAQS
Do I need different employment contracts for different employees?
This will depend on what is required for the business. For example, more senior employees may need different contracts compared to junior employees based on their roles and responsibilities.
How often should employment contracts be reviewed and updated?
It is generally recommended that employment contracts are reviewed fairly regularly, usually every couple of years or so. If there are changes in legislation, it will need to be done in line with these updates.
What are my options if an employee disputes the terms of their employment contract?
They should be given an opportunity to negotiate on some aspects of their contract, however, if it is a legal requirement, this needs to be explained. We always recommend seeking legal advice if there is a dispute so that you are aware of all the options available to you.
What should I do if an employee breaches their employment contract?
Depending on the severity of the breach and its effect on others and the business, you may wish to deal with the breach informally or through disciplinary procedures. Additionally, for more serious breaches, legal redress can be sought through the courts.
What should I do if I need to change the terms of an employment contract?
If you wish to make changes to an existing contract, you will need to discuss and negotiate this with the employee in question, as both must be in agreement with the amendments.

Highly recommended
Miya at Eric Robinson recently supported us through both our property sale and purchase. She was consistently professional, courteous, and exceptionally helpful. Her guidance was clear, her communication timely, and she kept us fully informed throughout what became a particularly challenging exchange. Thanks to Miya’s diligence and proactive approach, our chain was able to exchange and complete within a very tight timeframe. We would highly recommend Eric Robinson Solicitors.
Impressive Service from Michelle and the Team for House Buying and Selling
We have bought and sold through Michelle & the team at Eric Robinson in the last 6 months, and we have repeatedly been impressed at their diligence, persistence, attention to detail and positivity. On a number of occasions we feel Michelle went the extra mile in finding solutions to the hurdles we faced. They communicated brilliantly with us, and with the estate agents. And the result is that house buying and selling was a positive and not-too-stressful process. We would highly recommend.

Emma & Megan were brilliant throughout our sell and purchase, responsive and diligent they ensured everything stayed on track. Would highly recommend Eric Robinson for your conveyancing needs.
Samantha Gilby – the best solicitor in town!!
We used Eric Robinsons conveyancing department for the sale of our house and purchase of a new property. Our Solicitor was Samantha Gilby from the Bitterne office. Samantha was amazing. She was constantly on the ball, always contactable and reacted to queries very quickly. She was clear and concise with all the information. Buying and selling a property is very stressful and there is a lot of information that needs to be understood. Samantha made the whole process flawless, smooth and easy. There were no doubts from us whatsoever with the work that Samantha did for us. She made the whole process easy to understand and we totally trusted that she would get the job done. It’s obvious that she works very hard and has her clients interests as her priority. I have nothing but praise for Samantha. She is a credit to your company and I do hope her work is recognised and duly rewarded.
