UK Employment Contract

£ 75 ex. VAT

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.

Statutory required contract clauses within our contract of employment include:

  • 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.

As well as statutory required clauses, our employment contract also contains additional contractual clauses to help give clarity to employees about how certain employment matters will be dealt with and help protect an employer.

For only £75+vat you will receive:

  • Employee's Contract of Employment (for general staff).
  • Manager's Employment Contract (for senior staff and managers).
  • Separate contracts are included for permanent and temporary staff (for both employee and manager contracts).
  • Background information to explain the various documents and clauses included to help you get started.

Our general staff contract can be used for employees working in support style roles and the senior staff contract is suitable for employees working in managerial style roles.

Our senior staff contract contains clauses specific to senior roles, for example, company cars, expenses, intellectual property and restrictive covenants. These clauses can also be used if your organisation requires a specific clause for an individual general employee contract.

Our temporary staff contract takes account of the fact that employment will comes to an end and can be used for fixed term roles (i.e. maternity leave cover) and short term posts.

As standard all contracts included in this pack have clauses relating to: short time working; lay offs; payroll deductions; benefits; right to search; company equipment; emails; confidentiality; data protection; and much much more. (Full list of clauses and topic ares as shown in our content table). (Click here for full list of contract clauses and topic areas.)

Our contracts are provided in Microsoft Word format and can be used for permanent and temporary employees. The contracts can be used for as many employees as you require for your organisation. (You only need to purchase one copy.)
