Agreements
to protect you & your business

Share this page

All employees must have an employment contract with their employer. From the 1st April 2020 all workers must have a contract also. The contract must be provided by the employer from the first day of employment.

A contract is an agreement that sets out an employee’s:

  • employment conditions
  • rights
  • responsibilities
  • duties

These are called the ‘terms’ of the contract.

Protect your business by ensuring that your contracts deal with things like intellectual property, confidentiality, restrictions on termination of employment and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to have to issue a contract?

Employers are legally required, by the Employment Rights Act 1996, to give employees a written statement of particulars of employment. From 6 April 2020, all new employees and workers will have the right to a statement of written particulars from their first day of employment.

What are the consequences if you don’t?

Unless an employer can demonstrate that there are exceptional circumstances, employees could be entitled to an award of between two and four weeks’ pay if their employer fails to provide them with a written statement of initial employment particulars or of any changes to their terms of employment.
