Contract of Employment
You must give this to new employees within 8 weeks
Getting the contract of employment right is very important. The principle
statement of terms and conditions - see below - is an important part of
the contract, but a number of other implicit and explicit terms can be involved e.g.
custom and practice, the job description, Company Handbook etc.
It is also very important to follow due process if you need to vary the contract in any way
e.g. giving appropriate notice (usually 90 days).
