Hi guys - wonder if you can help.

My "empire" is growing and will be opening another small shop on the 1st of October. I now need to get more professional in my approach to running them as I soon I will need to register for vat. I have now taken on a bookkeeper for a few hours a month.

My next big task is to give the employees all terms of employment - but where to start? What are the requirements? Does lunch have to be taken outside the shop, or can it be taken inside the shop? How does public holiday pay work? Is there minimum pay?

All help and links would be greatly appreciated.
