What is an Employment Contract Template?
An employment contract template is a pre-formatted document that employers use to create legally binding agreements with new employees. In the UK, employers must provide written statement of employment particulars on or before an employee's first day of work (Employment Rights Act 1996).
A comprehensive UK employment contract template should include: job title and duties, start date, salary and payment terms, working hours, place of work, holiday entitlement, sick pay provisions, notice periods, and pension information. Our templates follow ACAS guidelines and current UK employment law, including the Employment Rights Act 2025.
Key Requirement: Since April 2020, all workers (not just employees) must receive a written statement on day one. This includes agency workers, casual workers, and zero-hours contract workers. Source: GOV.UK Employment Law
