 “I need to hire a person for a role that has flexible days and hours each week, I’d like them to also provide cover for other staff and sometimes I’m going to need them to work full time…groan… what type of employment agreement should use?”

Employment law can feel very tricky at times and getting it right from the start saves you time, energy and money later.
