    Prepare employment terms for England, Wales or Scotland. Northern Ireland has separate rules: this page does not apply its deadlines or requirements to Northern Ireland.

    Check before signing

    • A written statement of employment particulars is not itself the employment contract; it records the main employment conditions.
    • In Great Britain, the principal statement is due on day one and the wider written statement within two months.
    • Include pay, hours, holiday, location, probation, benefits and required training. Check employment status and applicable collective terms; use the separate official guidance for Northern Ireland.

    Prepare your template draft

    Incomplete working draft: your details and headings, not finished contract clauses. Details are not saved or sent to AI. Check current law and collective terms; obtain local professional review before use. Northern Ireland is outside this draft’s scope.
