Employment law very clearly requires employers to issue a written statement of terms and conditions to new employees within two months of them starting work. However, the statement of terms and conditions is usually issued before an employee joins the organisation, as it is an important mechanism for communicating the terms and conditions of employment to the new employee. This training activity helps participants examine which information must (legally) be included in the state of terms and conditions and which could be included, depending on the nature of the organisation and the job.
You introduce the training activity by explaining the legal requirement on organisations to issue a written statement of terms and conditions. You then divide participants into two groups to look at the contents of such a statement. In particular, you ask them to identify those things which should be included in the statement of terms and conditions by law, and those which are optional and depend on the needs of the organisation and the individual. Next, you lead a debriefing session and provide the participants with the answers to the exercise. Finally, you emphasise the need for recruiters to be aware of changes and developments in employment law. The training activity ends with a review of the key learning points covered.
