Employment Policies & Company Handbooks

Clear employment policies to protect your business.

Managing a workforce effectively requires up to date well-structured policies that are accessible to everyone. Our employment lawyers create practical, accessible documentation that help manage the expectations of your workforce and limit your exposure to employment tribunal claims.

Morr & Co’s employment solicitors will work with you to understand the needs of your business and provide you with jargon-free employment policies and/or staff handbooks, tailored to your business requirements.

Our employment solicitors will advise you on the policies that are required by law and on the most practical ways of applying them, both to manage your business’s relationship with its workforce and to protect your interests should a dispute arise.

Whether you’re starting fresh or updating existing policies, we ensure your documentation:

  • Is up to date with employment legislation
  • Speaks clearly to your team and manages expectations
  • Works in practice, not just on paper
  • Helps reduce the risk of disputes

FAQs

What is a staff handbook?

A staff handbook brings together your company’s policies, procedures and practices in one clear document.

It helps both your business and your employees understand their rights, responsibilities and what to expect from each other.

Do I need a staff handbook?

While not a legal requirement, it is best practice. A well-crafted staff handbook is valuable for protecting your business and supporting your team.

Handbooks can be contractual or non-contractual, and it could be the case that some of the information contained in the handbook is a legal requirement, for example information relating to remuneration, holiday and working hours.
