Employment statement
By law, all employers must give certain information to new staff. This document doesn't offer all of the provisions that you might expect in a full contract. Instead, it just provides the essential elements to ensure you comply with the law.
If you're an employer in England, Wales or Scotland, you must give the information contained in this document to all of your workers and employees by the time they start working for you. If you're an employer in Northern Ireland, you must give the information contained in this document to your employees within 2 months after they start working for you.
You don't need to use this document if you plan to use our Employment agreement, Fixed-term employment agreement or Zero-hours worker agreement, as these documents also contain the necessary information.
Use this statement in combination with our employee handbook (or your own) in order to refer to details of your policies and procedures around grievances, disciplinary and dismissal, and paid leave.
This document is not suitable for part-year employees (such as employees who work only during education term times).
