Employment T&Cs: More Information

An employment contract is a legal agreement between an employer and an employee, setting out the mutual rights and obligations of the parties.

Employment law (case law as well as statutes and regulations) affects many aspects of the employment contract, and contracts must be drafted to take account of the background law.

Not only does a well-drafted contract aid compliance with employment law; it also helps reduce the legal risks that arise out of the employee-employer relationship. In the event of a dispute between the employer and the employee, a properly drafted employment contract may help the parties to resolve the dispute without recourse to legal proceedings, potentially saving a great deal of time and money.

We supply a range of employment contracts suitable for use in England and Wales. There are three categories of contract: full-length premium employment contracts containing a wide range of options, standard-length documents, and basic documents designed for ease-of-use. Within each category, there are documents suitable for full time employees, part time employees and fixed term (i.e temporary) employees.
