Internship Employment Contract

This Internship Employment Contract is for use where the intern is not work-shadowing and is, in effect, engaged as a fixed-term employee.

Fixed-term protections and early termination

Fixed-term employees have the same minimum rights as permanent workers and are protected by the Fixed-Term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2002.

This contract includes a clause allowing the employer to end the fixed-term contract early, helping to avoid a potential claim for damages equivalent to the pay and benefits the fixed-term worker would otherwise have received up to the agreed end date.

Workplace pension auto-enrolment

Note that the intern may also be eligible to be auto-enrolled in the workplace pension scheme if they:

• are aged between 22 and State Pension age
• earn more than £10,000 a year
• work in the UK

What the contract covers

• Duties/job title, fixed-term arrangements and commencement/continuous employment date
• Hours of work, place of work and remuneration
• Holidays, sickness absence and pension
• Collective agreements, grievance and disciplinary procedure, and staff handbook/employment policies
• Confidential information, data protection and governing law
