The General Employment Agreement is a fundamental legal document used to establish and regulate the employment relationship between organizations and their employees in England and Wales. This agreement serves as the primary contract governing employment terms, incorporating essential elements required by UK employment law, including statutory rights, obligations, and protections. It should be used when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment relationships, ensuring compliance with current legislation while protecting both parties' interests.
