Employment Contract UK

If you need an Employment Contract UK style then the Legal Document Company has the answer. Our employment documents cover the law as applicable to England & Wales (but not Scotland or Northern Ireland). Whether it is an executive service agreement, standard contract of employment or a simple "blue collar" employment contract our documents are flexible enough to cover all levels of employee including part-time workers and fixed-term employees.

Employers are required by law to give a written statement of the main terms of employment to their employees within eight weeks of them starting work. A contract of employment is the best way of doing this as it includes terms about when it will commence and how long it is for, working hours, pay and overtime, whether there is a collective agreement, disciplinary procedures, dismissal, grievance procedures, and company cars and how the employment contract can be ended.

The employment contract is also a statement of the other terms of employment, such as the provision of company cars. The employment contract also incorporates your employment procedures by reference such as your health and safety policy, flexible working policy and retirement procedures
