PART TIME EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

So, I’m guessing you’re here because you might need a contract for your new employee? Or maybe you’ve already got employees working for you, who don’t have a contract? (One that you’re happy with anyway).

Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Let me tell you a bit more about this Employment Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.

CHOOSE FROM FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME

There are two options to choose from: Full-time employee (working a full week) or a part-time employee (working fewer hours per week e.g. 3 days per week or 3 hours, five days per week).

This employment contract provides as statement of the terms and conditions of employment for employees working part-time. The contract covers aspects such as sickness absence and hours of work

 

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR AN EMPLOYEE

Well firstly, it’s the law. Since 1 April 2020, you have to give all new employees a contract on their first working day. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you, i.e. their hours of work, holidays etc.

But, another important reason is that if things ever did go sour with your employee, or they tried to screw you over, this is the number one document that can make or break your business.

In this employment contract template, it covers the following situations, and many more:

😡 Confidentiality – so they can’t share your strategies and secrets

😢 Non-compete agreements – in case they get poached by your competition

💬 Clarity – to prevent misunderstandings over what they’re entitled to

😈 Intellectual property – so YOU own this and not your employee

💷 Caveats – to avoid paying employees when you shouldn’t have to

⚖ GDPR – so you comply with the law by getting consent to hold their data

🤔 Probation periods – just in case things don’t work out
