Contracts of employment are becoming more and more complex. Employment legislation requires that all employees are provided with a written statement of the terms and conditions of their employment. However, even if there is nothing in writing a contract of employment exists. It is far better to have a contract of employment professionally drafted than to be left to dispute what the terms of that contract were if a dispute later arises.

What Should Be Included?
The contract of employment should cover items such as:

• Payment
• Hours of work
• Holiday pay and entitlement
• Sick pay
• Redundancy

• Any notice required to be given by the employer for dismissal

All of these terms, and any specific to the nature of your business, should be included in a written contract of employment to avoid any uncertainty at a later date.
