A) PROBATIONARY PERIOD
You join us on an initial probationary period of six months. During this period your work performance and general suitability will be assessed and, if it is satisfactory, your employment will continue. However, if your work performance is not up to the required standard, or you are considered to be generally unsuitable, we may either take remedial action (which may include the extension of your probationary period) or terminate your employment at any time.
We reserve the right not to apply our full contractual capability and disciplinary procedures during your probationary period.
B) STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING
The Company firmly believes that its most valuable resource is you, its employee. The following paragraphs highlight our commitment in this area:
- Career Development
It is a firm policy of Lifetime Legal Limited to encourage all of its employees in the progression of their careers and wherever appropriate, promotion takes place from within the Company.
- Professional and Technical Training
The quality of service we provide to our clients is a key factor in our continued success and to assist in the professional approach of all our member companies you will be encouraged, wherever possible, to follow Company approved professional and technical courses to help achieve this.
Where external training is required, the Company may choose to provide financial assistance with tuition and examination fees as well as the purchase of required books in respect of authorised courses of study.
C) PERFORMANCE AND REVIEW
Our policy is to monitor your work performance on a continuous basis so that we can maximise your strengths, and help you overcome any possible areas for development.
D) STAFF APPRAISAL SCHEME
We have a staff appraisal scheme in place for the purpose of monitoring staff performance levels with a view to maximising the effectiveness of individuals, details of which are available separately.
E) JOB FLEXIBILITY
It is an express condition of employment that you are prepared, whenever necessary, to transfer to alternative departments or roles within our business. This flexibility is essential as the type and volume of work is always subject to change, and it allows us to operate efficiently and gain maximum potential.
F) MOBILITY
Although you are usually employed at one particular location, it is a condition of your employment that you are prepared, whenever applicable, to travel to any other of our locations. This mobility is essential to the smooth running of our business.
