There has been a lot of talk on DR1 about the need to have a written employment contract between you (the employer) and each employee setting out basic things like work hours, causes for termination, salary, start date, etc.
I agree that this is important and ALWAYS used them in the USA. If nothing else, they help to make a number of basic points clear to both parties.
Here is my question: does anyone actually have a well-written employment contract/letter that they use here with the domestic help and/or other employees and that they would be willing to share?
It would be interesting to work together on a good contract/letter and then have everybody provide their constructive criticism about potential pitfalls and improvements.
BTW - I didn't post this in legal or business forums, as the type of employees that most of us have are domestics, gardeners, guards and house-type staff and this is more of a "living" issue.
Thanks!
