Employment law
Support for employment relations on the employer side: contracts with senior executives with KPIs and bonus schemes, dismissals and redundancies, representation in employment disputes, internal policies and HR documents, NDAs and non-competition agreements, reservation of employees and military registration, remote work and gig contracts, support during State Labour Service inspections.
Employment contracts and contracts with senior management
Drafting employment contracts, job descriptions and contracts with executives: KPIs, bonus schemes, grounds for early termination, golden parachute clauses.
The employment contract of an executive is one of the key corporate security documents of a company.
PROCTOR drafts contracts that not only govern the employment relationship but also protect the business from management risks. We define the limits of the powers of executives, the KPI system, the procedure for paying bonuses, the conditions for early termination of powers, liability for losses caused, the handover procedure and the protection of confidential information.
Our contracts take account of court practice and minimise the risk of future employment disputes.
Dismissals and redundancies
Legally correct termination of employment: by agreement of the parties, on the initiative of the employer, redundancy. Minimising the risk of an employee being reinstated and of average earnings being recovered.
Employment disputes
Representing employers in court disputes with employees: reinstatement, recovery of wages and compensation, challenging disciplinary sanctions, the financial liability of employees.
Internal policies and rules
Drafting internal labour regulations, policies on remuneration, bonuses, business trips and the use of company equipment. Localisation of the global policies of international groups.
NDAs and non-competition agreements
Protecting confidential information and the client base when working with staff: non-disclosure agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation constructions with regard to the restrictions of Ukrainian law.
Mobilisation and reservation of employees
Advice on employment relations with mobilised employees, reservation of critically important employees, keeping military registration records at the enterprise and liability for breaches of it.
Remote work and gig contracts
Arranging remote and home-based work, flexible schedules and relations with the gig specialists of Diia.City residents. Drawing the line between employment and civil law relations without the risk of reclassification.
State Labour Service inspections
Support during inspection visits: checking the powers of the inspectors, preparing documents, challenging orders and fines, in particular for undocumented employees.
How we handle an employment matter
The order of work on HR decisions: from the check of the documents to the defence of the employer in a dispute.
01
Audit of HR documents
We check the employment contracts, the orders, the job descriptions, the internal rules and the military registration records. We show where the employer is exposed.
02
A solution for the situation
We choose the lawful way to do what the business needs: to dismiss, to make redundant, to move someone to remote work, to change the terms of pay.
03
Preparing the documents
We draft the contracts with executives, the orders, the notices, the NDAs and the non-competition agreements, and the internal policies to fit the particular company.
04
Running the procedure
We see through a dismissal, a redundancy or a State Labour Service inspection: the deadlines, the notices, the settlements and the evidence for any later dispute.
05
Defence in a dispute
We represent the employer in court in cases on reinstatement, recovery of earnings, challenges to penalties and the liability of an employee for losses.
Formats of employment support
Chosen by whether a single HR decision is needed or continuous work with the whole workforce of the company.
A single HR decision
One document or one procedure: a contract with an executive, the dismissal of a difficult employee, a redundancy notice, with an explanation of the steps.
The company's HR package
An audit of the documents and a full set: internal rules, regulations on pay and bonuses, contract templates, NDAs and policies for the whole workforce.
Standing employment support
A lawyer runs the company's HR matters day to day: current advice, drafting decisions, reservation and military registration, inspections and employment disputes.
