Contracts of employment (March 2025)

Chapter 7

Changes to contract through statute

[page 61]

Provisions that are contained in legislation, such as minimum rights to holiday or rest periods under the Working Time Regulations 1998, are incorporated into individual contracts of employment. If regulations change, or a new law is passed, this will change an employee’s contract of employment.
