Things you should check Employment offers and contracts
Employment contracts will vary by employer. However, all employers should:
give you an employment offer letter before you accept the role - this sets out details of your employment but is not the formal employment contract
give you a ‘written statement of employment particulars’ on your first day of employment
give you an employment contract within 2 months of starting your employment
You should always read the job offer letter fully and make sure you understand it before accepting the role. You should do this before you travel to the UK. Check it carefully to make sure that you understand what you need to do and what your employer needs to do.
If you’re unsure of anything or have concerns, you should write them down in a letter or email and ask for written clarification. You can refer back to this if there are any problems.
You should not sign a contract that has blank spaces where there should be writing, as this could be filled in afterwards with things you did not agree to.
You should pay particular attention to any repayment clauses included in your contract. This is the amount of money you’ll have to pay back to your employer if you leave the job within a certain time. Do not agree to a repayment clause that asks you to pay back fees that should be paid by your employer. Read Annex B, below, for more detail on repayment clauses.
Check that your job offer includes:
the job title (there is no requirement at this stage to provide details of the role, but you can ask the employer for a copy of the job description)
your salary
hours of work (see below)
place of work
the start date and length of contract
Your employment contract is usually provided on the first day of your employment, but not always. Your employer must give you an employment contract within 2 months of your start date.
