Taking professional advice at an early stage can be a keystone in moulding a successful employment relationship.  Do you have contract of employment?  Are you happy with its terms?  Does it comply with current legislation?  Could you do better?  Seeking advice early can also be a key factor in successfully diffusing and /or commencing any potential claim against your employer.
