Notes for completion of form

Introduction

The written statement may be provided either:

a) as a single document;

b) in a number of instalments – provided that

certain details, dealt with in paras 1–8,

are always given together in the same

instalment.

All instalments must be given to the employee

not later than two months after he/she starts

work or if, at an earlier stage he/she is required

to work outside the UK for more than one

month, not later than his/her departure.

Unless otherwise indicated, all particulars must

be set out in the statement itself and not be

given by reference to: a collective agreement; a

handbook; or any other document which does

not form part of the written statement.

Lengthy or complicated particulars may

be given on a continuation sheet or via an

attached booklet or other annex – provided it

is clear that this is integral to the statement, or

the relevant instalment of it, and forms part of

the same document.

Where there are no particulars

to be given for paras 1–14,

the statement must say so in

each case.

Some of the separate stages in paras 15–21

may be combined where, for example:

a) thesamepersonisthersttobe

approached for appeals against disciplinary

or dismissal decisions and for grievances;

b) the method of application in both cases is

the same.

Explanatory notes for completion are given in

the right hand column on each page.

Note:

Some terms and conditions of employment

are subject to statutory requirements, eg rates

of pay, working hours and holidays, notice of

termination of employment and disciplinary

and grievance procedures. For information

please see: A detailed guide to the national

minimum wage, Your guide to the Working

Time Regulations, Rights to notice and reason

for dismissal and the Resolving disputes web

page.
