Contracts of Employment

A contract of employment is a written agreement of terms and conditions between two parties, the employer and the employee. The employee may be permanent, temporary, full time, part time, casual worker or even a volunteer. Having an employment contract in place ensures you are adhering to employment legislation and can also be of invaluable assistance to an organisation at an employment tribunal.
