In the UK, written terms and conditions of employment is a document that outlines your job details, such as pay, working hours, and duties, which your employer must provide when you start work

​

As late as on the first day of employment, an employee must receive a single document, which will include at least the basic information about his or her employment rights. This is also known as a “contract of employment”.​

​

The document must include such information as:​​

​

• Name of the employer

• Date when the employment began

• Title of the job or a brief description of the work 

• Place of work

• Scale of your wages

• How often you shall be paid – for example weekly or monthly

• Working hours

• Entitlement to holidays

• Entitlement to sick pay

• Length of notice

​​

You must also regularly receive or have access to your payslips.
