Written particulars of employment
The written employment information an employer must give an employee about core terms such as the job, pay, hours, leave, notice, and workplace details.
Definition
Written particulars of employment are not always the full employment contract, but they are important evidence of agreed or statutory terms. The practical review should check the employee's name, employer details, job title, place of work, start date, working hours, pay, deductions, leave, notice period, benefits, policies, and later changes recorded in writing.
