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.

If this employment terms and conditions template is to be used for the appointment of a new employee, you might also like to consider our offer letter template.

A full employment agreement which should be used for mid-level employees or employees who are paid more or are of greater importance to the business than junior or administrative staff.

This employment agreement could be used for middle management employees or employees that may not be critical to the ongoing success of the business, but are still more important than junior or administrative employees.

This template deals with the provision of insured benefits (such as medical insurance) and the payment of bonuses which may be more relevant to mid-level employees. Also, this template deals with intellectual property and can be used if the employee undertakes creative activities for the business.

The template explains that both the employee and the employer are expected to abide by certain terms and conditions, and in doing so will assist in reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings and disputes in the future.

Although more detailed than the basic employment contract, this agreement template is less detailed than the premium employment contract. For example, there is no provision at all for restrictions on the activities of the employee post-termination of employment.

If this employment agreement is to be used for the appointment of a new employee, we also provide an offer letter template which can be used in conjunction with this employment agreement.
