IDS Contracts of Employment examines the tests for establishing employment status, including the definition of an "employee" and other categories of worker.

It looks at:-

  • the content of employment contracts, including express, implied, incorporated and statutory terms;
  • covers employers’ obligation to provide employees with a written statement of employment particulars;
  • sets out the circumstances in which courts will refuse to enforce an agreement, such as void terms, sham contracts and illegal contracts;
  • deals with garden leave and restrictive covenants;
  • analyses termination of contract, including express dismissal, constructive dismissal, expiry of a fixed-term;
  • and considers breach of contract and remedies for breach, including injunctions, calculation of damages and the duty to mitigate loss.
