Employment contract template

This employment contract template from Spectra Arts CIC sets out the key terms of employment in plain, accessible language, covering pay, working hours, location, annual leave, sick leave, mental health days, a wellbeing fund, and a mutual trial period. It takes a notably progressive approach, offering unlimited agreed leave beyond the statutory minimum, unlimited paid sick leave, a £400 wellbeing fund, and a support contact model in place of traditional line management. The template also addresses termination, intellectual property, confidentiality, data protection, and the right to work in the UK. It is designed for use by a specific CIC and would require adaptation for other organisations, but serves as a practical model for civil society groups seeking a values-driven alternative to standard employment contracts.
