Summary

Contents

The Lawpack Employment Contract Kit contains everything you, as an employer, need in order to prepare employment contracts that comply with the latest legal requirements for your staff.

This Employment Contract Kit is also available as a "Download Now" eKit.

Employment Contracts are required by the law: if you expect an individual to be working for you for more than one month, you are legally required to provide a written statement which sets out the main terms and conditions of their employment. This is known as an Employment Contract. An Employment Contract must be issued within 8 weeks of the employee's start date.

This Lawpack Employment Contract Kit has been designed to enable you to simply and quickly comply with the law in England, Wales and Scotland. It provides easy-to-understand background information on the relevant areas of employment law including advice on interviewing, recruiting, offering maternity leave and the minimum wage.

The Employment Contract Kit includes a full set of Employment Contracts that you can use again and again as your business expands and new people join. These include:

  • Full/Part-time Employment Contract
  • Temporary/Fixed-term Employment Contract
  • Domestic Employment Contract

It also contains a template Staff Handbook for employees, which you can easily customize to suit your company’s requirements. The Staff Handbook covers areas such as an employer's Equal Opportunities Policy, Health and Safety Policy, Dismissal and Disciplinary Rules and Procedure, and Grievance Procedure.

The contents of this Employment Contract Kit have been approved by Melanie Slocombe, employment law solicitor, under English law and by Neill Clerk & Murray, solicitors, under Scottish law.
