This agreement is subject to regular review, as there are often changes in labour law. It takes into account the fact that: other employment policies and procedures that are not included in the main message (for example. B, data protection) could be included in the agreement. Especially if you have a lot of employees, it can be long and difficult to change each employee`s employment contract (and ensure consistency among employees) if a new law changes. It is therefore customary to teach in a manual all the procedures and policies common to all staff and to refer to the manual of the employment contract. This is the approach Net Lawman recommends. A written or oral contract is made as soon as the employee accepts a job offer. In order to minimize future misunderstandings, we recommend establishing a copy of this agreement with the letter of offer so that the employee can return a letter of acceptance with a signed copy of the contract. An apprentice who is accepted under a traditional “apprenticeship contract” has the right not to be wrongfully dismissed under the Employment Rights Act of 1996 (as with all ordinary workers). This agreement must be signed by the apprentice and the employer at the beginning of the apprenticeship. The model itself – the information to be included to be qualified as an apprenticeship contract – is set out in the 2012 Apprenticeship Regulation and came into force on 6 April 2012. Like all Net Lawman employment contracts, this agreement has a strong influence on the protection of confidential information and the employer`s intellectual property. To encourage businesses to welcome apprentices, Parliament adopted the Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, which included the power to prescribe a standard service contract, not an apprenticeship contract.
The difference is significant in that a service contract, like any other employment contract, can be terminated without notice without notice, without the apprentice being able to claim compensation for the rest of the training period, for the loss of his status or for unpaid wages. This licensed apprenticeship model is considered a service contract, which means that an apprentice employed under such a contract is only entitled to the legal protection afforded to ordinary workers. As an employment contract, it provides for fair protection for the employer and compliance with other labour laws. It contains the information necessary to qualify as a training contract.
