Instruction on Hiring, Changing Working Conditions and Termination of Employment Agreements

Instruction on Hiring, Changing Working Conditions and Termination of Employment Agreements

The labour law practice shows that employment relations for the employer can be divided into three basic stages:

1) hiring stage;

2) changing working conditions, if required;

3) termination of employment agreements.

Proper performance and documentation by the employer of these stages will allow it to avoid most of the legal risks associated with the relations with employees. Given that, we are pleased to offer you our services on developing the internal instruction, which will serve as a practical guide for HR specialists of your company and include a step by step description of the procedures for hiring, changing working conditions and dismissing employees.

Let us focus on the fact that the instruction, in addition to the obligatory requirements of the legislation, contain many provisions of practical use and are aimed at minimising the risks of employers during these stages.

In particular, these instructions contain recommendations, which may help the employer:

• avoid hiring employees who have had a negative experience with their previous employers;
• fully evaluate the qualifications and professional capacity of an employee during a trial period;
• have real leverage on unfair employees;
• terminate employment agreements with employees taking into account restrictions and regulations specified by law for some categories of employees, etc.

Experience:

• development of the Instruction for representative offices of several major pharmaceutical companies, and for an Italian-Netherlands manufacturer of confectionery.
