Power Of Attorney Employment Contract

"I need a Power of Attorney Employment Contract for my London-based financial services company, where we're appointing a senior manager to act on behalf of our CEO during their 6-month sabbatical starting March 2025, with full operational and employment authority but excluding M&A decisions."

Document background
A Power Of Attorney Employment Contract is utilized when an individual needs to delegate authority while establishing an employment relationship under English and Welsh law. This specialized document is particularly relevant when the attorney will be performing employment duties on behalf of the donor, requiring both power of attorney privileges and employment terms to be clearly defined. The contract addresses matters such as scope of authority, employment duties, compensation, and termination provisions, while ensuring compliance with both power of attorney legislation and employment law requirements. It's commonly used in situations involving long-term absence, overseas assignments, or where specialized representation is needed.
