Employment Contracts
Or “contract of employment” is the phrase most commonly used
to describe the written Statement of Terms and Conditions
of Employment. In fact, there is much more to the contract
of employment, including (but not limited to):
- Any verbal agreements made at the time of offer or subsequently;
and
- Other documents referenced in the Statement; and
- Job description; and
- Any implied terms.
All employers are required by law to provide a written statement
to an individual within two months of commencement of employment.
It is required to contain specific information and/or details
of where such information can be found.
Additionally, any changes to the contract must be agreed
with the individual and formally confirmed in an amendment
to the Statement within four weeks of the change.
There are penalties, which can be awarded by an Employment
Tribunal, for “Failure to provide a written Statement of Terms
and Conditions and any subsequent changes to those terms”.
At Employers’ Aide, we can provide you with a compliant standard
template or custom-build a Statement tailor made to your specific
requirements. You can then feel confident that you are meeting
this obligation as an employer.
Employment Handbooks are often used in conjunction
with the contract of employment to set out rules and expectations
and detail Company policies. We can provide these too if you
need them.
