Employment Contracts

All businesses regardless of size must provide written contracts of employment for their employees within 8 weeks of them starting work. These written statements outline employees' terms and conditions applicable to their employment, regardless of whether they are engaged on a full-time or part-time basis.

Staff contracts, employment agreements and temporary employment contracts (including occasional and fixed term arrangements) must all cover specific terms including payment rates and arrangements; holiday entitlement; and sick pay arrangements; notice period; and reference to grievance and disciplinary procedures etc.

• Does your business have written contracts for all your employees?
• Have you kept them up-to-date to match statutory entitlements?

Employment law and minimum entitlements change frequently so contracts can become out of date as a result. Cherington HR can review your existing contracts to see if they meet with the current statutory minimum requirements and put together bespoke documentation to suit the needs of your business.
