What Terms and Conditions am I entitled to?

All employees are entitled to a statement of the Terms and Conditions of their employment. This should be provided to an employee no later than 2 months after the commencement of their employment.

What should these contain?

These should set out information such as:-

- the date of commencement of employment;

- rate of pay and when this will be paid;

- hours of work;

- holiday entitlement;

- notice of termination of employment;

- sick pay & pension entitlement (if any);

- where the disciplinary and grievance procedures can be found; etc.
