Employment contracts for small businesses and corporates – Your responsibilities

Manage employment contracts with our HR support services

The employer must provide every employee with a written statement of main terms on or before the first day of work.

The employment contract must include a number of specified terms and conditions.

Organisations that fail to provide the statutory statement of main terms and conditions will breach the rights of their employee. This applies when:

The statement is not provided at all
A statement is provided but does not contain all the required information
There is a dispute over the accuracy of the terms contained within the statement or written notification of changes to the statement terms has not been provided

As per the employment contract law, employees may complain to an employment tribunal in the event the employer doesn’t issue a complete statement or fails to issue it on time.

Advice on Employment Contracts

There are also many types of employment contracts to consider here. Because of this, it can be a good idea to get advice on the law, to make sure they are all drawn up correctly.

Small Business Employment contracts

Just like large businesses, small businesses with fewer than 25 employees need professionally-written contracts. But finding the time to create them is a challenge when you have limited human resources.
