Employment Contract
What to include in an employment contract? This article gives a brief outline of a standard employment contract.
What is an Employment Contract?
An employment contract, or ‘contract of employment', is an agreement between an employer and an employee which sets out their employment rights, responsibilities and duties. These are called the ‘terms' of the contract.
Your employment contract doesn't have to be in writing. However, you are entitled to a written statement of your main employment terms within two months of starting work.
The employment contract is made as soon as you accept a job offer.
You and your employer are bound to the employment contract until it ends (usually by giving notice) or until the terms are changed (usually in an agreement between you and your employer). Contract for Services
If you have a ‘contract to provide services' or a 'contract for services' with someone, then this is different from an employment contract and generally means you are self employed.
A contract to provide services is an agreement between you and another person to undertake some work for them (for example paint their house). You do not become an ‘employee' for this person - you just provide them with a service.
If you are a temporary agency worker you may be contracted with your agency under a 'contract for services'. Your agency, as an employment business, will be obliged to provide you with a written contract.
Contract of Employment â€" Contents
The following provides a brief outline of what is included within a Contract of Employment; this applies for all UK employment contracts.
Names of the Parties Employment Contract Start Date Employee's Job Title and Description Place of Work Hours of Work Probationary Period Salary Holidays Sickness & Disability Pension Notice Restrictive Covenantsâ€" it prevents an employee from setting up a competing business whilst still employed. Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure Retirement Severability Prior Agreements Jurisdiction Particulars of Employment Where do Contract Terms come from?Contract terms can come from a number of different sources; for example they could be:
verbally agreed in a written contract, or similar document in an employee handbook or on a company notice board in an offer letter from your employer required by law, for example, your employer must pay you at least the minimum wage Express Contractual TermsExpress terms in an employment contract are those that are explicitly agreed between you and your employer and can include:
amount of wages, including any overtime or bonus pay hours of work, including overtime hours (there is a legal limit for most employees on the maximum number of hours they can work per week) holiday pay, including how much time off you are entitled to (nearly all workers are entitled by law to 24 days' paid holiday - they may be entitled to more under their contract. Part-time workers are entitled to a pro rata amount) sick pay redundancy pay how much warning (notice) the employer must give you if you are dismissed. and provide work. Implied Terms of an Employment ContractAs well as the terms you actually agree with your employee, an employment contract can include implied terms.
Implied terms aren't written down anywhere, but are understood to exist. If there's nothing clearly agreed between you and your employer about a particular matter, then it may be covered by an implied term. Terms are implied into a contract for a number of reasons.
Implied terms include:
Some terms and conditions may become implied terms of the contract because you have consistently done something over a significant period, eg made enhanced redundancy payments to redundant employees. This is known as custom and practice.
The law also imposes some terms automatically, such as the right to paid holidays, the right to receive the national minimum wage and the right not to be unlawfully discriminated against.
Workers posted on a temporary basis from one European Union (EU) Member State to another are covered by the Posting of Workers Directive.
Under the Posting of Workers Directive, as an employer you must ensure your workers receive the basic key terms and conditions of the Member State they have been posted to. For example, if workers are posted to a Member State that has a higher minimum wage than they normally receive, they are entitled to the minimum wage of that other country.
If you want to change an employee's terms and conditions of employment, you will need to get their agreement first. Otherwise, the employee may be entitled to sue for breach of contract, or resign and claim constructive dismissal.
You must tell the employee in writing about any changes no later than one month after you have made the change.
Agreed changes don't necessarily have to be in writing. However if they alter the terms in your 'written statement of employment particulars', your employer must give you another written statement showing what has changed within a month of the change.
Employee Enforcement of the Right
Employees have certain rights. These rights are enforceable by law:
Both employer and employee can terminate the employment contract according to the terms contained within it. Either side can make a complaint against the other.
Breach-of-Contract Claims
Both employers and employees can be in breach of a contract of employment. A breach of contract happens when either employee or your employer breaks one of the terms. If an employee continues to work under these changes without objecting, they may be regarded as having accepted the changes.
Not all the terms of a contract are written down. A breach may be of a verbally agreed term, a written term, or an 'implied' term of a contract.
Employer would normally use a county court for a breach of contract claim. The only way an employer would be able to make an application to an Employment Tribunal is in response to a breach of contract claim that an employee has made.
The most common breaches of contract by an employee are when they quit without giving (or working) proper notice, or when they go to work for a competitor when their contract doesn't allow it.

Answer by Thats_me
If you are a good designer and not getting job, just start looking for some good projects. Become a free lancer and build websites for companies... Its a big thing these days, once you see you getting good projects start hiring programmers and designers and build your own company. I know its not easy at all but once you pass out your hard years, the reward will be fantastic and you would love it! Good Luck, fight on
Answer by jck_kerouac
But wait, Bill Gates said we needed to import more tech workers from overseas...what gives? Screw going back to school, you have the required education. You need experience. Put together your portfolio. Make contacts in any industry where they may require your services...family, friends, networking. Move if neccessary. Work for yourself if neccessary. If you need to...lie about your education and experience. Be confident. Don't quit. Believe in yourself.

Most of us get stuck because we won't move. Your type of degrees or lack of is not the problem... I work for an IT Director that only has certifications (no degree), he wouldn't be able to add up a credit hour if his life depended on it. In your line of business it's wacky out there, your only restricted by yourself. It could be that there isn't any place in the area you live that has a need for a designer, but you do have other computer skills that might apply to a bunch of businesses. Sit down and give it some real thought, I mean look through the eyes of common sense. Since you have the graphics thing down, you could easily fall into a design (engineering or network design) type of position. All you would need to know is how Cisco for example lays out their networks for wireless. Read up on it at a Barnes and Noble. Then go find a job in IT. Make sure you don't go to a Cisco company, otherwise you will really need to know how they work. Go to acme co and tell them you are experienced in Cisco but could learn there system quickly... You wouldn't be lying! Would you?

You seem to have enough education, trust me its a not a 4 year degree that's holding you back (there's a lot of folks with 4 year and even Master's degrees in your position) First you need to understand the market, do you live in a Major metro? like NYC, LA, WASH, BOST, SEATTLE , ATLANTA? If not then naturally the opportunities for design as a career choices are limited to none, if you can move then by all means do so. Most folks in the design business work on the coasts in the major cities ,its just where all the agencies and IT folks are.. that's the reality of the matter, that's where the work is.. Next , do you have a real solid portfolio of projects, if not create one! Design is all about showing off your work, you need to show off you creative brilliance. When you go on interview with design its less about education and more about Design .. Work on selling yourself more. Finally, as you alluded to in your question, full-time positions are simply scarcer these days, because so much design work is freelanced and most companies don't have a need for a FT design professional. Consider being a Freelance designer and working at some other job during the day for income until you develop enough clients. Since it seems you've resigned to getting any job, then try to get something in an ancillary career field, like in a Print shop, publishing, computer company.. or some work that at least lets you show off your design talents indirectly.. Best of luck!
You got a really useful blog I have been here reading for about half an hour. I am a newbie and your post is valuable for me.
