Have you provided your employees with a contract of employment?
Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 sets out the minimum information that an employer must give an employee in relation to their working terms and conditions. From April 2020 it became a legal requirement to provide a contract of employment on or before the date on which employment commenced.
If an employee is not provided with a contract and decides to make a claim, they could be awarded up to 4 weeks’ worth of pay. These obligations apply to new employees after April 2020, but current employees can also request to have a newly compliant contract of employment which must be provided within 1 month of a request.
To avoid any unnecessary breaches relating to Human Resources paperwork, contact Karen Powell today on 01981 590514.
