Employment Contracts (Cambridge (CIE) IGCSE Business): Revision Note

The contract clearly sets out the rules, such as working hours, duties, and pay, helping to reduce confusion or disputes

The contract gives clear information about their job role, working hours, pay, and holidays, so they know exactly what to expect

It allows the employer to take legal action or dismiss the employee if they break the contract, such as refusing to work agreed hours

The contract provides security, as the employer cannot easily change terms or dismiss the worker without good reason

It helps to create a professional relationship, where both sides understand their responsibilities and can work more effectively together

If the employer breaks the contract (e.g. underpaying or reducing hours unfairly), the employee has the right to take legal action
