Night Worker Employment Contract

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is now payable from the first full day of sickness absence. This contract has been updated to reflect this change.

This Night Worker Employment Contract is designed for employers engaging someone to work at night. It provides for the additional rights given to night workers and is up to date with the most recent legislation.

The matching offer letter is the Night Work Employment Offer Letter.
