Your rights in contracts of employment
Every employee has the right to either a written contract of employment (a formal contract) or written statement of terms (usually in the form of a letter).
The basic terms to which you are entitled in a contract of employment are:
- job title
- wages
- hours
- holiday entitlement
- sick pay
- pension schemes
- notice period
- grievance procedure
You must receive the above within two months of commencing your employment. It is preferable that you obtain an employment contract if possible, as this will be a more detailed document and will therefore be more useful if you later enter into a dispute with your employer.
