What you need to know about employment contracts

Employees are legally entitled to a Written Statement of the main terms and conditions of employment within two calendar months of starting work. This should include details of things like pay, holidays and working hours, and are usually outlined in an Employment Contract

It is best to put a contract in writing – it saves a lot of potential misunderstanding further down the line. Often, simple misunderstandings over what is or what is not in a contract are one of the main causes of employment tribunal claims.

Contracts of employment can be provided by PayrollAbility, which are legal, fair and protect the employer from rogue employees or future misunderstandings and problems. Speak to us today to see how we can help you
