Contracts of Employment

The contracts of employment are an agreement between an employer and an employee regarding the rights and obligations of both parties. Although an employee’s agreement to work and an employer’s agreement to pay for the work can constitute a contract, it has to be put into writing within two months of the employee starting work. The contracts of employment must contain detailed terms and conditions which outline such rights as to payment for the work you do, your title and duties, number of work hours, pension details, entitlement to holidays, dismissal and grievance procedures, and so on. The contracts of employment can be implied – such as the employee’s acceptance of reasonable instructions from the employer; or explicit – such as overtime or bonus pay, sick pay, notice period, or the employee’s right to join a union. The breach of contract of agreement entail the need for the advice of a specialist solicitor on taking a claim to the Employment Tribunal, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
