Charity employment contract solicitors

The charity sector makes up around 3% of the entire UK workforce. When hiring individuals to work for your charity, the employment contract is pivotal to the success of the role. Alongside internal policies and procedures, the employment contract sets out expectations and safeguards the employer from nuisance claims.

Our charity employment solicitors can help draft and update charity employment contracts that are clear, easy-to-understand and thorough. And when there is a dispute or grievance, we can help to advise on how to enforce your contracts. We’ll also help keep your organisation up to date with employment law, so you’ll always feel confident you are acting as a responsible employer.
