Being open with the employee from the start will cut down on the number of disgruntled ex-employees and poor morale from people who fear they might be next.
Or is your questions why write the contracts fixed term rather than having everyone know it is only for 12 months, but using the same contracts as permanent staff?But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.
