Certain aspects of the employment relationship have to be included within a written statement of employment that is given to the employee. See the Written statement of particulars (terms and conditions) guidance note for a full list of the details to be included within the statement.

Other terms must be put in writing, but only need to be ‘reasonably accessible’ to the employee. The employer can choose whether to include them in the written statement or to have them as separate documents, as a group of policy documents, or to put them into an employee handbook. Terms relating to employee sickness or other paid leave are expected to be conveyed from day one, but may be notified to the employee outside the main statement of particulars. Other aspects may be notified to the employee in instalments, over the first two months of employment, including:

  1. disciplinary and grievance rules and procedures

  2. collective
