What resources or platforms should we use to create employee contracts?

Several practical routes are available, ranging from free templates to paid services. - **FSB (Federation of Small Businesses)** — Members consistently recommend this as the top option. Your membership includes a free legal hub with templates for every type of contract you'll need, plus access to free solicitor advice. Several members confirmed they use their FSB account for exactly this purpose. - **LawDepot** — A solid paid platform for contract drafting. Members note you can access a free trial subscription, or download a watermarked version and use an image-to-text tool to remove the watermark if you want to avoid the subscription fee. - **ChatGPT** — One member found this helpful for drafting, though this is less formal than the dedicated platforms above. The consensus is that FSB offers the best value for small drinks businesses, given the breadth of templates and included legal support.
