Your Company Staff contracts?
hello all. Let's say that you have a company you're building as well as a staff. What are the conditions you'd include in a contract between your company and the staff members?

Mind out when starting a company. If one of your staff members get sick, usually the company still has to pay them even if they are in bed at home doing nothing. This can cause a beginning company to fail since you would probabyl have to hire another staff member and pay fro him too (more expenses than expected).

I don't suggest hiring "staff" or "employees" for startups. Use contractors, that way you get the work done while spairing expenses.

I would have to agree with Bennett on this one.
As a manager of 8 staff in a company of 750 employees, we have a contract for the staff that is over 60 pages in length. It is a very time consuming process, which I know because I am involved in the writing of this document.

hmmm, sounds interesting. Thanks for the advice. But what about copyright info would it be a good idea to have contractors sign a contract saying the copyright ownership to all finished work belong to MyCompany?

Use contractors and get them to sign an NDA and an IPR/Copyright agreement.

Sure, an NDA is a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which will basically outline the fact that your contractors can't reveal any telling details about the running of your business, your clients, your software etc. that you don't first give them permission to do so.
IPR stands for Intellectual Property Rights - by signing over IPR on either a project by project basis, or for any works completed whilst in your paid employ, a contractor gives you sole, (or non-exclusive), rights to all aspects of the project worked on, or to individual parts thereof.
