Employment : Contracts of Employment
Every Employee has a contract of employment. If the same is not in writing, then the likelihood is that a dispute will arise regarding the terms of the contract. Employers are obliged to provide written particulars of employment which include Salary, Dates of Employment, Job title and disciplinary procedures. If an Employee brings a claim in a tribunal and an Employer has not provided a written statement of particulars then the Tribunal may award an additional two to four weeks pay in addition to any other compensation.
In addition to this, a written contract of Employment can provide a reference to both Employers and Employees of other policies including grievances, health and safety, diversity, maternity and paternity leave, sickness, holiday and discrimination. If you want to discuss any employment matter, please contact Adam Marham.
