HR starter pack for small businesses
An HR starter pack for a small business in Nigeria: an employment contract, a staff handbook and the core policies, drafted by a lawyer to fit the Labour Act and the way you work.
Employment contract, staff handbook and the core HR policies your business needs, drafted by a lawyer in one package.
If you are hiring your first staff, this pack gives you the documents you need to do it properly: an employment contract template, an offer letter, a staff handbook and policies on leave, discipline, data and harassment. A lawyer adapts them to your business and Nigerian labour law and walks your managers through how to use them.
- Employment contract template and offer letter
- Staff handbook covering leave, conduct, discipline and grievance
- Policies on data protection, harassment and remote work
- Probation and termination checklist for managers
- A session with a lawyer to walk your team through the pack
- One round of changes after you review the drafts

Common questions
What is in the HR starter pack?
An employment contract you can reuse for new hires, a staff handbook that sets out how the business works, and the core policies most small businesses need: leave, conduct and discipline, grievances, confidentiality and data protection, and harassment. Each one is written for your business rather than copied from a template.
Do I have to give my staff written contracts in Nigeria?
The Labour Act requires an employer to give a worker a written statement of the main terms within three months of starting, and a clear contract protects both sides whatever the role. It also makes probation, notice and confidentiality easy to enforce.
Can the documents grow with the business?
Yes. The contract and the policies are drafted so you can add roles, benefits and rules as you hire, and we can update them when the law or your business changes.
