I have inherited an employee who has no written contract and has apparently refused to sign one in the past.
He has no apparent terms of employment, gets paid weekly the minimum wage on a part time basis 10 hours per week, and is paid all year round and through holidays even though there is no work to be done at holiday time. There is no list of duties or responsibilities. The quality of the work done is poor.
He has been unwilling to discuss terms of employment in the past and has threatened union action if pressed on the matter. The most shocking part of it all is that this person has been employed under these circumstances for upwards of fifteen years.
As the new person just arrived on the scene, I'm not sure where to begin here.
I know that as the employer I am in breach of regulations regarding providing terms and conditions of employment etc... But how can I proceed if the person is unwilling to co operate?
How can I retrofit all the necessary legal bits and pieces once the person is already employed for this long?
Thanks in advance,
