Personal Assistant Employment Contract (Company)

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 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, often known as a Standard Form Section One Statement. This contract covers those requirements and must be provided to the employee or worker by day one of employment.

The matching offer letter is the Personal Assistant Offer Letter (Company).

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.
