Employee Contract & Handbook Templates

Under UK law, all employees must receive a written statement of employment terms, commonly known as a contract of employment from day one. This document sets out the core terms of the working relationship, including pay, hours, holiday entitlement, and notice periods, in line with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the latest UK legislation.

Equally important is the Employee Handbook, which outlines your company's policies and procedures, from disciplinary processes to health & safety and GDPR compliance. While not legally required, a well-written handbook helps protect your business, ensures consistency, and reinforces your company culture.
