Episode 3 in this Series is a chat with Marc Jones who owns and operates Marjon Law, specialist employment lawyers. Marc has been an employment lawyer for nearly 25 years now. He originally trained as a barrister and transferred to become a solicitor who has always ‘done’ employment law. As he says, this is his forte. I have worked with Marc for many years and he has advised me on employment matters. Marc’s contact details are below in these show notes.
I asked Marc what the one bit of advice would be that he’d offer people who employ staff in their homes so that they don’t get on the wrong side of the law. He said “Oh, well, that’s easy. They have to have a written contract … to misquote a famous quote: a verbal contract is not worth the paper it’s written on, and that’s unfortunately how a lot of disputes arise because it’s all evdenced by he-said-she-said. Once you’ve got something in writing, it governs the relationship between the parties.”
Marc talks about a horrendous example of a relationship breakdown that can happen when family and friends are employed, and how best to manage such situations. We also talk about holidays, breaks, self-employment and what claims might arise if an employment contract is not provided!
