Employment Contracts<\/h1>\n

Employment contracts set out the terms and conditions of employment between an employer and an employee. Drafted and used correctly, they can help the relationship between both parties and often prevent the involvement of an Employment Tribunal.<\/p>\n

Apart from some special cases employment law does not require that a contract of employment must be provided to each employee, although it is\u00a0best practice and gives confidence and security to both employer and employee. The law does, however,\u00a0require that a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment are to be produced to the employee within 8 weeks of the commencement of their employment. This does not apply to employees who are to be employed for less than one month.<\/p>\n
