A contract is a legal document that states and explains a formal agreement between two different people or groups, or the agreement itself. The legal relationship between employer and employee is one of contract, based on common law principles.
In this essay I am going to discuss the rights and duties of employers and employees towards each other, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. I am also going to discuss how well the duties and the Act are applied in a particular place of work. ... Employers must give all employees correct information about rights under their contract and if the situation arises reasonable opportunity should be given to have any complaints looked at, the employee has the right to be accompanied by a trade union representative to a disciplinary or grievance hearing, failure to do so is a breach of contract.
All employees, within two months of starting work, are entitled to a written statement of the main particulars of their employment; it should include, amongst other things, details of pay, hours, holidays, notice period and a further note on disciplinary and grievance procedures. This statement is not in itself a contract but provides information on the contracts main terms, if these terms are not adhered to either the employee or the employer may have grounds to make a complaint.
