Preferably before or minimum from Day One of Employment, you MUST provide a Contract of Employment

A lot of our competitors continually use scare tactics, but did you know that all new employees MUST have a Contract of Employment from day one of employment or your business could face financial consequences.  At Consensus HR and as part of our recruitment strategy for any business, when deciding to recruit, we always ensure a Contract is written, ready to be sent to the new member before they start, so that they can read fully what is enclosed whilst gaining an understanding, so as to be able to ask questions, prior to signing

Ensuring that an employee has a contract of employment from day one is not just a legal requirement, but it is also a fundamental step in building a transparent and trusting work environment. When employees receive, read, and sign their contracts on their first day, they clearly understand their roles, responsibilities, and the terms of their employment, whilst having the opportunity to ask questions. This process sets clear expectations and helps avoid potential disputes or misunderstandings down the line.

Failure to provide a contract promptly can lead to significant consequences for your business. Without a signed agreement, there is a greater risk of legal complications, particularly if disputes arise regarding employment terms, job duties, or termination conditions. Additionally, employees may feel uncertain about their job security and obligations, leading to lower morale and engagement.
