Personal Assistant Employment Contract (Company)

This Personal Assistant Employment Contract (Company Version) is for use where a company employs a person to work as a personal assistant.

Employers must provide workers and employees with a written statement of their main terms and conditions of employment and this is often known as a Standard Form Section One Statement.

This 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.

Provisions tailored to a close working relationship

Because this can be a close working relationship, the contract includes additional provisions aimed at helping disputes be handled in a straightforward way. For example, it makes clear that the employee will need to work flexible hours and that any additional hours will not attract overtime payment.

It also specifies what sums may be deducted from the personal assistant’s salary to avoid misunderstandings. An optional clause covers the provision of health insurance and other benefits.

Confidentiality and protection for the employer

The contract includes an enhanced confidentiality clause, reflecting that the employee may have access to sensitive personal information. It also includes additional clauses that provide greater protection for the employer and address the personal nature of the relationship between an employer and a personal assistant.

This Personal Assistant Employment Contract (Company Version) complies with all relevant employment law and sets out the employee’s rights and the company’s obligations, helping to minimise the risk of breach.

Pensions Act 2014 update

The Pensions 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 employment contract has been updated accordingly with the removal of the clause referring to the contracting out certificate.
