Anyone with the legal status of employee or worker has the right to a 'written statement of employment particulars'.
A written statement summarises the main terms of employment, such as pay and working hours.
Anyone with the legal status of worker does not have the right to a written statement if they started the job before 6 April 2020.
Many people think this document is the employment contract. However legally the contract is much broader than the written statement.
Agency workers
Agency workers have the same right to a written statement as other workers and employees.
