Contracts of employment can be temporary, permanent, short term, long term, fixed-term or open-ended.
Contracts contain express terms (those that both the employer and the employee agree on), and implied terms (these are not stated in
the contract, but impose obligations on both the employer and the employee).
Some contracts may contain a restrictive covenant (a clause which prevents an employee from doing something. For example, it may
prevent the employee working for another similar company when s/he finishes work in his / her current company).
Contractual liability is a legal responsibility for something as stated in a contract.

In Britain, the Working Time Directive of 1998 (based on guidelines set by the European Union) sets out the following regulations:
Employees should work no more than 48 hours a week, and should receive a minimum of 4 weeks' paid leave a year. They should have
a weekly rest period of at least 24 consecutive hours, a daily break of at least 20 minutes for every six hours worked, and a daily rest
period of 11 consecutive hours. There are different directives for some groups (e.g., pilots, bus drivers, doctors, etc) whose jobs are
more stressful, demand greater concentration, or whose performance might affect other people.

Normally before an appraisal, employees fill in a self-appraisal form. Note that appraisals / assessments are normally knowledge-based
(what the employee knows), and performance-based (how well the employee has worked, and the results s/he has achieved).
Appraisals can be two-way, with the employee telling the company how s/he feels about it, and his / her role in it. A good company will
always listen to the feedback it receives from its employees. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
