employment contracts
As an employee you are entitled to receive a statement of employment particulars, more commonly known as an Employment Contract, from your employer within two months of commencing employment. This should contain some key information regarding your terms and conditions of employment including:
- the name of the employer
- your name and start date
- if a previous job counts towards a period of continuous employment
- how much and how often you will get paid
- hours of work
- holiday entitlement
- any provision for sick pay and pension
- place of work
- length of notice
- job title or a brief description of the work
- information if you are required to work outside the UK for more than one month
If you have not received a written employment contract after two months of beginning work then you can request one.
If you have been offered an Employment Contract or Director’s Service Agreement and need advice then one of our Employer Lawyers can go through the contract with you to give you a full and clear understanding of your contractual rights and obligations.
To make an appointment to speak to one of our Employment Solicitors call Paula Stuart on 01908 689345 or Stuart Snelson on 01908 689318.
