Overview (Cont...)

The internal relationship is the relationship that exists between the people in the organisation and defines their respective rights, powers and responsibilities.

Ideally both these relationships should be clearly set out from the start, but it would be unrealistic to produce documents that provide a solution to every snag the organisation may encounter. Moreover, as the organisation will evolve, so the framework created by the documents must be capable of changing to reflect the changes that take place in the external and internal relationships. Elsewhere you will find information about creating the organisation (e.g. a partnership or a limited company) and setting out the internal relationships required. Information is also given about acquiring or disposing of an existing organisation and the many different aspects involved in such an exercise. The links also contain useful information about the external relationships involved in business such as conditions of sale and conditions of purchase as well as more complicated relationships such as those with agents or distributors.

See also our Employment Law pages for information on the relationship between employer and employee including matters such as contracts of employment, unfair dismissal, redundancy, constructive dismissal and problems currently being encountered by builders and the construction industry over the self employed status of building workers.
