By law, employers are required to issue employees with a written statement of particulars of employment on or by day 1 of employment. The legislation sets out that certain terms must be included in such a document such as holiday entitlement and place of work.

Many employers want to agree to further additional terms such as a confidentiality clause and the requirement to hold a valid driving licence. Failure to issue such a document could result in a financial award being made to the employee.
