Conditions of Employment

A contract of employment governs the relationship between an employer and an employee. Under the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994 to 2014, an employer must provide all new employees with a written statement of employment terms and conditions. For employees who have yet to receive such a written statement, a contract clarifies the details of the employment relationship and both parties' rights and duties. It may prove crucial in the event of disagreement between the parties.
