Business owners or company directors hired by an owner will need to educate themselves on the employment laws. Once the business owner or company director makes their choices on who to hire, the employment laws will need to be taken into account.

As an employer, employment status will be the concern for any potential or new employee. The categories of employment will all have different tax, legal, and national insurance number implications. These categories include employee, self-employed, worker, contractor, and director. Employers must know the differences in these categories and which ones suit their own personal business the best.

All employers will also need a contract of employment for all of their employees-to-be. Basically, a this contract will be a document that states the terms and conditions offered by an employer, which the employee must sign to begin working. This document will also serve as the evidence of the employee's start date. There are some cases where the contract of employment can simply be agreed to verbally. There are other types of contracts which the employer will want to familiarize themselves with as well. Contracts for services and contracts of personal performance at work will also be needed for various reasons. The contract that an employer has an employee sign will depend on the person's employment status. These contracts must be presented to the employees within two months of their start date due to legal obligation.

A majority of employers also provide any new employees with the company health and safety booklets or policies, data protection policies, and the equal opportunities policy. Some employers may have additional pamphlets or policies that need to be provided to the new employees. If you are new to being an employer, it is wise that you look into the employment laws for your particular state very carefully. Violating these laws can result in large fines or worse.
