Sales Manager Employment Contract (No Car)

This Sales Manager Employment Contract No Car is intended for Sales Managers with management responsibility for a particular sales territory, where a car or car allowance is not included in the benefits package.

This Employment Contract covers the requirements of a Standard Form Section One Statement. This contract complies with these requirements and must be provided to the employee or worker by day one of employment.

Use this contract for a sales manager role without a car benefit

This version is specifically for sales management roles where the benefits package does not include a company car or car allowance.

Restrictive covenants schedule

The contract includes a Schedule of Restrictive Covenants providing enhanced protection for the employer. The restrictive covenants are designed to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests, for example confidential customer information.

Employees are required to show a signed copy of the Restrictive Covenants Schedule to future employers so that prospective employers are fully aware of the contractually agreed limitations on “poaching” customers, transactions and staff.

The Schedule contains three possible restrictive covenants:

• Non-competition
• Non-solicitation of customers
• Non-solicitation of employees

Restrictive covenants must be no wider than is necessary to protect your “legitimate business interests”. Consider each restrictive covenant carefully and remove any that are not relevant to your business and the employee in question. For those remaining, insert time limits and geographical limits that are appropriate and reasonable to the nature of your business. If the schedule is tailored to match the particular employee, it is more likely to be deemed reasonable and therefore more likely to be enforceable.

Equipment and expenses

The Sales Manager Employment Contract No Car includes a clause for the provision of a laptop and a company credit card.

Termination and payment in lieu of notice

This contract includes a payment in lieu of notice (a “PILON”) on termination, rather than having the Manager work out their notice period either at home on garden leave or in the workplace. The payment in lieu clause enables the employer to require the Manager not to work during their notice period, whilst retaining the validity of employee covenants.

Update note

The Pension Act 2014 introduced a new state pension for people reaching state pension age on or after 6 April 2016, replacing the previous basic state pension and additional state pension and ending contracting out for defined-benefit schemes. This template has been updated accordingly with the removal of the clause referring to the contracting out certificate.
