Website of interest - are you an employer? Does your worker have a contract?

If you take someone on, you must give them a contract or written statement of terms within the first 8 weeks.

Statements of terms have to contain certain information about various aspects of the person's rights and responsibilities while working with you. Luckily, BusinessLink has a website that takes you, step by step, through doing a legal statement of terms for your worker!

You can save as you are going along and download the finished document to your computer to print off. It is advisable to print off 2 copies, for both employer and employee to sign each copy and for the employer to keep one and give the other to the worker.

If you have any queries about the statement of terms, please contact Jenny H on 020 8960 8888 or at pbsupport@adkc.org.uk
