I'm a teleworker. Should I still have a contract of employment?

Employers must provide employees with a written statement of particulars of employment (the basis of a contract of employment, though not necessarily the entire contract) within two months of starting work, in the same way as for office-based workers.

The place of employment must be included in these particulars and details of teleworking arrangements should also be incorporated.

The details of teleworking may require additional written information on matters such as the department to which the teleworker is attached, his/her immediate superior or other persons to whom she or he can address questions or report, etc.

Note: See our information on the legal status of teleworking
