I guess this legally binding document MM supposedly has in the written statement ??
Does an employment contract need to be in writing?
Most employment contracts need not be in writing to be legally valid; a verbal agreement can be sufficient. However, writing down the terms of the contract can minimise later disagreements. The Employment Rights Act 1996 requires employers to provide most employees, within two calendar months of starting work, with a written statement of the main terms of the contract.
The following details must be included in the written statement:
the employer's name
the employee's name
the job title or a brief job description
the date employment began(9) the place of work and the address of the employer
the amount of pay and the interval between payments
hours of work
holiday pay entitlement
sick pay arrangements
pension arrangements
notice periods
where the employment is not permanent, the period it is expected to continue
where the employment is for a fixed term, the date when it is to end
grievance and appeal arrangements
disciplinary rules and any disciplinary or dismissal procedures (as a minimum these should comply with the statutory procedures)
any collective agreements which directly affect the terms and conditions
where the person is required to work outside the UK for more than one month: the period he/she is to do so; the currency in which salary will be paid; any additional remuneration payable by reason of working outside the UK; and any terms and conditions relating to his/her return to the UK.
