Employment Contracts for Sales Staff

This selection of contracts of employment is designed for a range of sales and retail roles, helping employers and HR personnel choose the most suitable template for the relevant employee. The templates include retail assistant contracts, sales representative and sales manager contracts, and a fixed-term retail assistant option.

Updated sales staff employment contracts

These sales staff employment contracts have been drafted and kept up to date by employment solicitors and HR professionals. The contracts have been updated to reflect the statutory sick pay changes set by the Employment Rights Act, under which SSP is now payable from the first full day of sickness absence.

The templates provide for the rules on what must be included in a written statement for new starters. Pre-existing employees can request a written statement that complies with these rules. These contracts comply with these requirements and must be provided to the employee or worker by day one of employment.

Retail assistant employment contracts

The Retail Assistant Employment Contract is designed for shop-based retail roles and includes clauses tailored to a retail environment. These include references to a staff rota, working outside normal retail opening hours to assist with preparation and closure, and appropriate rest breaks.

The Retail Assistant Fixed Term Employment Contract provides a fixed-term version for retail assistant roles where the employment is for a defined period.

Sales representative and sales manager contracts

The Sales Representative Employment Contract is intended for sales roles where enhanced restrictive covenant protection is required. The Sales Representative and Sales Manager contracts include a Schedule of Restrictive Covenants intended to provide enhanced protection for the employer.

For managerial sales roles, employers can use either the Sales Manager Employment Contract (No Car) or the Sales Manager Employment Contract (Commission Structure), depending on the role and remuneration structure.

Sales staff offer letters and matching contracts

An employment offer letter is usually issued before or alongside the contract of employment, so the offer, role, remuneration structure and contractual terms are consistent from the outset. The matching Sales Staff Employment Offer Letters can be used when making an offer for a sales representative, sales manager or retail assistant role.

Restrictive covenants in sales staff contracts

The restrictive covenants are designed to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests, for example, confidential customer information.

The employee is required to show a signed copy of the Restrictive Covenants Schedule to future employers, so prospective employers are aware of the agreed limitations on poaching customers, transactions and staff.

When is the employment contract formed?

An employment contract is made as soon as the employment offer is accepted.
