Contract of Employment (Permanent)

A complete contract of employment for a permanent employee, full or part time. It contains every particular required in the written statement under section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, so it can be issued as the statement on or before the employee’s first day.

• Fill in the Key Terms table, then work through each clause choosing the options that apply
• Delete the optional clauses (bonus, hybrid, restrictions, schedules) you do not need
• Give the signed contract to the employee no later than their first day
