This is a highly practical guide to best practice in the drafting of employment contracts. It provides advice on points to watch out for and the pros and cons of particular provisions.

The book also contains over 100 model clauses, draft letters and contracts covering virtually every aspect of the employment relationship (including part-time work, fixed term contracts and changing terms and conditions). All of the clauses and precedents have been tried and tested by the author and have been saved on an accompanying CD-ROM for easy customisation.

Drafting Employment Contracts is fully up-to-date, covering issues such as data protection, email and internet abuse, stress, sickness absence and specialised terms such as confidentiality and restrictive covenants. It will save practitioners a vast amount of time when dealing with the standard issues that they will commonly encounter, as well as some that are not so standard.
