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.
