Employment Contracts and HR Policy Packs for GMC Employers: Legal Advisory

A contract template from another jurisdiction does not survive contact with the Employment Act 2025. The Act sets a floor under notice, dismissal, salary timing, deductions, hours and rest days, and any term that falls below it is simply void.

Draft executive, professional and workman contracts of service with notice, probation, termination and confidentiality terms that satisfy the Act's termination rules.

Fix the salary period and payment dates in line with the Act, and set out its incomplete-month formula.

Draft a deductions clause confined to what the Act permits.

Draft a disciplinary and dismissal procedure built on the "due inquiry" requirement, including suspension on at least half pay.

Where staff fall within the rest day and hours-of-work rules, draft working hours, rest day and overtime provisions that comply with them.

Advise on the termination checklist covering final pay, the income tax clearance step and, for foreign employees, cancellation and return of the work pass.

New GMC subsidiaries issuing their first contracts to relocated and local hires. GFSO licence applicants documenting Approved Person and staff terms. Construction, hospitality and services employers with workman and foreign employee populations. HR teams that need a policy set matching the statute rather than a template from another jurisdiction.
