Task 3

Make up a dialogue presenting an interview of an applicant and an employer.

When an employee starts work for an organization (the employer), it is desirable that the terms and conditions of employment be negotiated and set down in a written contract. This contract cannot of course determine how well the employee can do the job or what his or her attitude will be at work, but it does provide a framework in which both employer and employee understand what each expects from the other in terms of pay, hours, holidays, sickness arrangements, pension schemes and disciplinary procedures. If either party fails to observe a part of the arrangement they may be in ‘breach of contract’ – a matter which, in serious cases, could be decided by a court or industrial tribunal depending on interpretation of the clause in question. Contracts of Employment may be renegotiated at intervals – often annually – though some firms prefer to issue a standard booklet of rules, terms and conditions which apply to the jobs of all employees. Further details showing what a Contract of Employment should contain are found in this extract from a Government leaflet.
