This document should include:
- Your name, job title or a description of work, and start date.
- Your pay rate and payment frequency.
- Your work hours and days, and how they may vary.
- Your holiday entitlement (including public holidays).
- Your primary work location.

- Probation period length and conditions.
- Details of additional benefits (e.g., childcare vouchers, gym membership).
- Mandatory training requirements and who covers the costs.
Details about pension schemes and non-compulsory training are also typically included in the Written Statement of Employment Particulars.
If you have any questions about the Statement of Employment Particulars or your Employment Contract, our Solicitors can provide guidance.
What is Acas?

Acas offers several Codes of Practice on topics such as:
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures.
- Disclosure of information to trade unions for collective bargaining purposes.
