Essential employment contracts
As an employer, you must give your staff a ‘written statement of main terms’ from the first day they start work for you.
If you fail to give your employees this information, they could raise a grievance against you and even take you to an employment tribunal. So don’t risk costly claims.
Protect yourself and your business with BrightHR. Use it to download our professional, compliant and up-to-date written statement of main terms.

This will depend on your industry and the type of new employee you’re onboarding.
For any employee, however, you’ll need a written document that clearly lays out your working relationship. You can make sure you’re getting your documentation right with the help of BrightBase document templates, our 24/7 employment law advice helpline, and our secure storage system backing up your important documents.
The best way to manage your HR documentation is to do it digitally. Manual, paper-based systems will only slow you down and make it easier to miss things and fall out of date with employment law changes.
With BrightHR, you can access BrightBase with our complete collection of HR and health & safety documents and templates as well as unlimited, secure document storage.
If your HR admin takes hours out of your day, there’s a reason why. It’s important to get it right.
Downloading standalone templates can result in your documentation being out of date and could even lead to you paying out in fines, penalties, or solicitor’s fees to try and set your business back on track.
That’s why at BrightHR we give you complete people management solutions that slash your HR admin time in half while making sure you get it right. So, we don’t just give you a library of HR documents, templates, and health & safety documents. You also get access to a secure document storage system and 24/7 access to a team of experts on our confidential phone line. We have your back every step of the way.
You already know that effective people management means taking care of both HR as well as the health & safety of your staff. And hunting for standalone document templates is likely wasting your time and costing you a fortune.
At BrightHR, we give you everything you need in one place while making sure you’re not paying extra for services you don’t need or want.
You can sign up for our Protect HR package for our HR document library or our Protect health & safety package to access our health & safety document library. For those who want both HR and health & safety document templates our best package, Prime is exactly what you need.
Each of our end-to-end software packages are designed to give you what you need, nothing more and nothing less. That’s why they’re all packed with software, tools, and free resources.
