Frequently Asked Questions

You must provide written employment terms from day one of employment.

In the UK, every employee is legally entitled to a written statement of employment particulars. This sets out key terms like pay, hours, holiday, and notice. Without clear written terms, expectations are unclear, disputes are more likely, and you have less protection as an employer.

A full employment contract goes further. It adds clauses that protect your business, such as confidentiality, duties, and termination terms.

For a first employee, it is best to have a clear, compliant contract in place before they start.

Written terms are the legal minimum you must provide from day one, covering basics like pay, hours, and holiday.

An employment contract includes those terms plus extra clauses that protect your business, such as confidentiality and termination rules.

For most employers, a full contract is the safest option.

Yes. Small businesses need HR policies in the UK.

Even with one employee, you must follow UK employment law and handle issues fairly and consistently. HR policies help you do that.

They are especially important for discipline and grievances, managing sickness and absence, preventing sexual harassment, and promoting equal treatment.

Clear policies reduce confusion, reduce the number of questions from employees, and protect your business if a dispute arises.
