There are some provisions that must be included in employment agreements by
law, and there are also a number of minimum conditions that must be met
regardless of whether they are included in agreements.
If you are considering starting your business with taking on an employee
you must make sure you are aware of your responsibilities as an employer.
If you are not sure seek expert advice as mistakes in this area could
cause you some real problems at a later date.
