Employment Contracts

An employment contract is not a legal requirement but it is a good idea to make sure that you have one as it provides evidence of what you have agreed with your employer. It is a requirement that all employees whose employment will continue for more than one month, are provided with particulars of employment which is a summary of the terms you are working under but not necessarily a full contract.  

The usual terms contained within an employment contract include the commencement date of employment, job title, place of work, salary, hours of work, holidays, sickness absence, termination and notice period, pensions, confidentiality provisions and any restrictive covenants.
