5. The employee's pay, or how it is calculated, and the intervals at which it will be paid - eg weekly or monthly. Salaries are paid monthly in arrears at the month end. For non-managerial staff the employee's hours of work are 9am - 5:30pm Monday to Friday. Staff are expected to be at their desks and working at 9am and there is no paid "cleaning up (or packing up)  time" at the end of the day - i.e. normal work continues until 5:30. Lunchbreaks and tea/coffee breaks are also included and listed separately. In addition staff may be required to undertake an additional five hours per week training. Overtime conditions are described separately but where urgent work is required or in emergencies overtime may be compulsary. Managerial staff will generally work the standard employees hours, but as with most professional grades there is no allocation for paid overtime.
   
   
6. Entitlement to holidays - including public holidays - and holiday pay. Public holidays are taken to include Bank Holidays (when banks may close for business), common law holidays and holidays by royal announcement. When the Christmas and New Year public holidays fall at a weekend, other week days are declared public holidays. The law in the UK does not entitle workers to paid leave for public holidays but paid public holidays are added to all workers' minimum leave entitlement. Outside those times workers must give notice that they wish to take leave. Notice of at least twice the length of intended leave must be given e.g. two days' notice for one day's leave. If insufficient notice is given we may refuse the request.

   Employees will be accountable and liable for all equipment entrusted to the specific employee issued with  e.g. loss of mobile phones, laptops etc.

Implied terms of an employment contract:  As well as the terms you actually agree with your employee, an employment contract can include implied terms. Implied terms include: the duty of the employer to provide a secure, safe and healthy environment (within the bounds of local conditions) for employees; the employee's duty of honesty and loyal service; an implied duty of mutual trust and confidence between you and your employees that neither side will act in such a way as to breach that trust; a term too obvious to need stating, eg that your employee will not steal from you; any terms that are necessary to make the contract workable, eg that someone employed as a driver will have a valid passport, visas, UK and where working abroad international driving licence.
