Clarification by Employment Appeal Tribunal of employers’ obligations to provide written particulars of employment
The EAT in Stefanko and others v Maritime Hotel Ltd held that an employee is entitled to a statement of particulars of employment even if they have worked for less than two months, provided they have completed one month of continuous employment.
Section 1(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 sets out an employee's right to receive a written statement of employment setting out the main terms of their employment, whether they work full or part time.
