Employment Contracts

Post hero image
Personal Employment for Individuals Employment Contracts

An employment contract is a legal relationship between an employee and their employer.

An individual who is legally classed as an employee or worker has the right to a written statement of employment particulars summarising the main terms of their employment.

Agency workers have the same right to written terms as other workers and employees.

Our employment team are regularly asked to advise on employment status (employee, worker, or self-employed). This is important as it will affect your legal rights and what you are entitled to. Legal action can be taken regarding a failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars.

Our team also advises on changes (variation) to terms and conditions, the termination of an employment contact, non-disclosure agreements, the enforceability or otherwise of restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses.

Please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone to speak with a solicitor from our employment team without obligation or simply fill out our enquiry form and one of our specialist employment lawyers will contact you.
