Employing.....Template for contract?

[timberworks]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a template for a contract of employment? Something i can cut and paste?

Just giving all the basics as required by law?

A contract exists as soon as one party agrees to work for another. The legal requirement is for a "Written Statement of Employment"

There is a Q&A section on the BERR website which automatically composes one for you.

Thanks Tom, and timberworks for starting the thread, that answers a question I was going to ask myself. :)

The Written Statement of Employment must be issued within two months of the employee commencing employment.
