This course looks at the difference between a contract and a written statement, who needs one, and what information they should contain. You'll also learn which one must be legally provided and by when.

You will look at what a zero-hours contract is, when they may be used and what the difference is between an employee, worker or someone who is self-employed.

Finally, you'll learn the processes to go through when a contract is varied or terminated.

This course is now closed, although you can still retrieve your certificate if you completed this course in 2024.
