A simple employment terms and conditions template to be used in the employment of junior or non-strategic staff on a fixed-term (temporary) basis.

Many businesses employ staff on a fixed-term basis, and at a junior level often do so to provide maternity cover for a woman absent on maternity leave. Whilst this employment terms and conditions template can be used for any junior fixed-term employee, it is certainly appropriate when employing maternity cover.

All employers are legally obliged to provide employees with written details of their terms and conditions of employment. Doing so not only avoids any misunderstandings, but also protects the employer from having to pay compensation for a failure to do so. That said, this employment terms and conditions template does not contain detailed provisions that would be more appropriate for a more senior employee such as expenses, benefits (such as PHI, medical insurance, life assurance), bonus, company car or car allowance, garden leave, post termination restrictions and effect of termination.

The employer terms and conditions template is drafted with a focus on the employer's interests, whilst at the same time complying with the law.

This employment terms and conditions template is 12 pages long, and contains provisions which include:

1. Appointment and Duration
2. Duties
3. Place of Work
4. Hours of Work
5. Salary
6. Pension
7. Holiday
8. Sickness
9. Confidential Information
10. Conflict of Interests
11. Termination of Employment
12. Retirement
