Employment

Our approach to employment services involves thoughtful drafting of employment contracts, grounded in first-hand knowledge of the latest industry practices and enforcement processes. Additionally, we specialise in negotiating carefully worded settlement agreements, providing a strategic avenue to avoid prolonged litigation.

Employment Contracts

For reassurance upon entering a new employment contract, as an employee or employer, we can draft your company’s employment contracts or conduct a thorough review of the employment contract’s terms and conditions. We pinpoint any areas of concern, such as non-standard or onerous terms, where you may face potential risks in the future. We can represent either employers or employees in the negotiation of the terms and conditions.

Settlement Agreements

In the inevitable occurrence of disputes, we offer guidance on how to resolve them without resorting to litigation. Where a settlement is achieved, we provide support in drafting and/or reviewing settlement agreements to ensure an accurate and comprehensive recording of the settlement terms.

In addition, we offer guidance and drafting services on severance agreements when employment termination becomes unavoidable and/or necessary for employers; or where employees contracts are terminated by their employers.

HR Documents and Policies

Beyond well-drafted employment contracts, establishing robust procedures and HR documentation is crucial to the rights and obligations of employers and employees. We lend our expertise to drafting these documents. We will also work with you to ensure that any freezone regulations are complied with alongside the labour law and its associated regulations.

We undertake a comprehensive review of existing policies and guidelines for employers and provide advice to employers and/or employees on their rights and obligations under these documents, including the below:

  • Secondment agreements
  • Grievance procedures
  • Appeal procedures
  • Employee handbooks
  • Diversity and inclusion Policies
  • Health and Safety Policies

We can also assist with investigations into allegations of breaches of the company’s policies and procedures whether acting for the employer of the employee
