Employment agreement

Use this agreement to create an employment contract for a new employee. It includes options for part-time and shift working, probation, working hours, breaks, overtime, workplace locations (including working abroad), salary, bonuses, benefits, annual leave, sick leave, pensions, data protection, termination (including post-termination restrictions), and more.

It also includes detailed disciplinary and grievance procedures as optional attachments.

All employers must give certain information in a written statement to new employees. This agreement contains that information. If you're an employer in England, Wales or Scotland, you must give the information by the time the employee starts working for you. In Northern Ireland, you can give it up to 2 months after they start.

Use this agreement in combination with our employee handbook (or your own) in order to refer to details of your policies and procedures (e.g. about different types of paid leave).

This document is not suitable for part-year employees (such as employees who work only during education term times).
