Clear employment contracts
Employment contracts should address role, salary, hours, social benefits, confidentiality, equipment, workplace policies and termination terms.
Changes and termination
Changes to role, scope or salary should be handled carefully. Termination requires attention to hearing process, prior notice and final accounting.
Preventing disputes
Written policy, proper documentation and clear communication reduce disputes. In some cases, a settlement agreement can end the relationship in an orderly way.
