Contract of employment & the Written Statement of Employment Particular
Employment contract is an agreement (that doesn’t have to be written) between an
employer and employee and it tells you the rights to written statement and what to do if you
do have a problem. On the other hand, contract of service is different from employment
contract because, in contract of service an independent contractor (plumber or electrician) is
hired only for the time needed to fix a problem.
The written statement of employment particulars is written agreement between an employer
and employee stating the main conditions of employment when they start work.
Employer Right Act 1996 (s 1 of the Employment right Act), states that an employer must
give employees and workers a document stating the main conditions of employment when
they start work. The difference between the written statement of and employment contract is
that written statement must include the main employment terms, known as the “principal
statement” information such as pay and working hours. The written statement must be
provided to an employee within two months of starting work. The employment contract
contains more details about the terms and conditions of employment (include rights and
responsibilities between an employer and employee).
The written statement of employment particulars (Employment Rights Act 1996 s.1) states
the main conditions of employment when an employee start the work. The written statement
is made up of: the main document (known as principal statement) and a wider written
statement. The principal statement must be provided on the first day of employment, while
the wider statement within two months of the start of employment. The written statement of
employment must include: business name, employee’s name, job title/description, start date,
hours and times of work, overtime details, holiday entitlements, location of work. If an
employee or worker has to work outside the UK for mora than a month, the principal
statement must also include: how long they will be abroad, what currency they will be paid in
and what additional benefits they will get.
The employment contract must include four key elements:
An offer: (that is made by an employer with the intention if the offer is accepted, the
employee will be bound by a contract).
Acceptance: (that can be oral and in writing, and an it is an unconditional agreement that of
all the term set out in the offer).
Consideration: each party to the contract must receive something of value
