Full Time Contracts of Employment

Employers need clear, legally compliant employment contracts to define the terms and conditions of full-time employment. A well-structured contract helps employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities while supporting compliance with UK employment law.

Updated full-time employment contracts

These full-time 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.

This collection includes basic hiring contract templates as well as agreements for senior-level employees, fixed-term staff, specific job roles and different working arrangements.

Choosing the right full-time employment contract

Employers who need a straightforward contract for a new full-time employee can start with the Basic / Statutory Minimum Employment Contract. Where the role requires stronger confidentiality protection, the Standard Minimum Contract with Enhanced Confidentiality may be more suitable.

If the employer needs to protect business interests after employment ends, the Basic Employment Contract with Restrictive Covenants includes post-termination restrictions such as non-compete provisions. For office-based recruitment, the Office Worker/Administrative Employment Contract (Full Time) is designed for clerical and administrative roles.

For senior roles, the Executive Employment Contract is intended for executive-level employees. Where the role is for a defined period, the Fixed Term Employment Contract can be used for fixed-term employment.

Match the contract with the right offer letter

An employment offer letter is usually issued with the contract of employment, so the offer, contractual terms and proposed start arrangements are consistent. The matching Full-time Employment Offer Letters help employers confirm the offer of employment before or alongside the relevant full-time contract.

What do these full-time employment contracts cover?

Each contract is designed to suit different employment scenarios and levels of seniority. They cover key employment terms, including pay, working hours, job duties and termination conditions.

Some contracts include confidentiality and intellectual property clauses, restrictive covenants, and flexible working arrangements such as shift work, night work, compressed hours or homeworking. A basic hiring contract is also available for businesses that need a simple, legally compliant agreement for new employees.
