Contracts of Employment

An employment contract forms the basis of the employment relationship and is an agreement between the employer and employee that is made on the commencement of the employee's employment . This agreement may be verbal, written or implied and comes into being from the moment the employee accepts the offer of employment .

The Employment Rights Act 1996 requires employers to provide their employees with a written statement of their terms and conditions of employment within 8 weeks of commencing work with their organisation and this usually takes the form of a written employment contract .

However, every year millions of pounds are spent on court cases arising from situation where a contract of employment was badly written or worse, non-existent. Contracts should outline the job, the duties and responsibilities of the employee, their salary and the way the company operates, avoiding confusion on any of these issues further down the line.
