Contracts, Handbooks & Policies
The Essential Foundation: Legal Clarity Meets Company Culture
Getting your employment documentation right from the start is the legal and cultural foundation of sound people management. At arlo Consultancy Services, your contracts and policies should do two things: protect your business from risk and clearly communicate your expectations to your team.
We move beyond generic templates. We craft tailored contracts, policies, and handbooks that are not only 100% legally compliant with current UK legislation but also genuinely reflect your company's unique values, culture, and operational practices. This proactive approach ensures your paperwork is a strategic asset—clear, practical, and ready to implement.
Our In-Depth Documentation Services:
- Bespoke Contract Drafting and Review: We draft or review employment contracts for all levels (full-time, part-time, fixed-term, zero-hours, executive), ensuring clarity on critical clauses like restrictive covenants, confidentiality, and intellectual property. This minimises ambiguity and future disputes.
- Comprehensive Employee Handbooks: We create or update your employee handbook, transforming it from a pile of rules into an accessible, practical guide. This includes integrating core values, detailing working practices, and clearly outlining disciplinary, grievance, and leave procedures.
- Policy Development for Risk Mitigation: We develop a full suite of essential HR policies (e.g., Disciplinary, Grievance, Whistleblowing, Data Protection, Equality, Social Media, Remote Working). Each policy is designed to manage specific risks and ensure procedural fairness.
- Guaranteed UK Legal Compliance: We ensure every piece of documentation meets the latest UK employment legislation (including updates related to holiday pay, family leave, and flexible working), giving you peace of mind and reducing the risk of tribunal claims.
- Implementation & Communication Support: Documentation is useless if teams don't understand it. We provide guidance on effectively communicating changes and rolling out new policies across your organisation, ensuring smooth adoption.
