About this course
An employment contract is more than a form to sign on the first day. It sets out what each side owes the other, it shows what was agreed when a dispute arises, and it is often the first document a commissioner asks for. This module sets out what the course covers and asks you to look at how contracts and HR letters are handled in your own workplace today.
