Rights, working time, leave, pay and termination.

What to check

  • An employment contract should be in writing before you are allowed to start work. It identifies the parties, work, place, remuneration, working time and start date.
  • An employee has employment-law protections, including working-time, leave, health-and-safety and written-termination rules.
  • If a necessary fact is unknown, use the verification route rather than assuming that you qualify.
