Should I have a contract for just one staff member?
The answer to that question is YES! WHY?
Well for starters, on 6th April 2020 the new day-one right to a written statement of main terms and conditions for workers and employees came into force. Prior to this date employers had 8 weeks to provide this information. Another important change is that this now includes workers.
