A guide to the duty of trust and confidence

About This Guide

Employment contracts are extensive, precisely crafted agreements, however, it is impossible to specify all the terms and conditions of employment and anticipate every situation that might arise. Terms, such as the duty of trust and confidence can be implied into employment contracts based on the assumed intentions of both parties at the time they signed the contract. Our guide discusses in-depth the duty of trust and confidence between employers and employees. Both parties have to adhere to the duty as without trust and confidence the employment relationship will not work. This guide also discusses what happens in case of breach of trust and confidence and the consequences, including disciplinary and poor performance procedures or, in the worst-case scenario – suspension.
