Could someone please advise...?
We have a couple of fixed term contract employees that we would like to employ on a full time permanent basis, is it just a case of giving them a new contract at the end of their fixed term contract?

I was wondering if anyone could help... We have an employee who has taken numerous 'sick' days due to having a new born child, the employee was not actually sick, where we do we as the employer stand? Can we in force that this person takes it as holiday or do we just have to except that the employee can do this?

We are looking to put a sandwich/panini press in our office kitchen. What implications could there be by doing this and what safety processes should we go through before we get one?

Can anyone help me with regards to staff being on call 24-7 (at home out of office hours). Are there any policies we need to put in place? What are the health and safety implications?

If somebody has not signed an employment contract with a company, what rights does the employee have when the company is claiming that he/she has been overpaid? Can they take the money from the next wage slip (assuming that the employee had no knowledge of the overpayment as all payslips showed the same figure)? If the employee leaves the company before the current months pay has reached the amount overpaid, can the company get it back?
Also, if the company claims that some of the amount overpaid is for holiday that was taken during a 3 month trial period (not contracted), is that legal? Are employees on trial periods entitled to any holiday, and if so how much? Is a contract required to distinguish a trial period from permanent full time work?
