A contract of employment is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee. It is formed when an employee accepts an employer’s offer of work.
Although contracts of employment do not have to be in writing, certain particulars must be condensed into writing. The written statement of particulars advises the employee of the more important aspects of the contract of employment.
If the employer does not provide the written statement within the first two months of employment, the employee can make a complaint to an employment tribunal.
A contract of employment should contain more than the minimum as specified by law. Each company would need different clauses in the contract. If someone offers you a generic contract, it probably won’t deliver what you need it to.
