Growing a team is one of the most exciting parts of building a business. However, crafting an employment contract from scratch is risky as the law is constantly evolving and it is important to be properly protected without overstepping your rights for example on intellectual property and data protection.

This short tutorial will explain how you can tailor your Employment Agreements with Legislate in minutes and keep track of them post-signature.

The first step is to set the terms of the agreement. You can create an employment contract for a full, part-time or fixed term employee.

Once you have answered Legislate’s questions about the employment arrangement, a first draft will be available for preview. The contract can be prepared by the person who has the authority to sign or one of their assistants.

The next step is to specify the employer and the employee via the People tab. The employer can be a person or a company. The signatory of the company and the employee will then receive invitations to the contract via email. They will be able to update their details when they accept the invitation.
