UK Employment Contract
If you employ staff, they should have an employment contract. Legally, you are obliged to give all employees a "written statement of particulars of employment". Employment contracts must be issued within two months of the employee's start date.
Contracts are essential in defining the terms on which your staff are employed. Without an employment contract, matters such as probation, poor performance and recurrent sickness can be difficult to deal with.
Both the standard and complete edition of the contract of employment contain statutory required contract clauses, for example:
- Commencement of employment (and continuous employment date).
- Job title, hours of work, location and pay.
- Notice period.
- Holidays, sickness and retirement.
- Discipline, dismissal and grievances.
