Introduction
Employee co-operation is an important part of human resource planning that tries to get
employees more involved in what is happening within the working environment. Tesco
achieves this by outlining the expectations of both the company and the employees and the
different groups that can help both parties to work together efficiently and more.
Contracts of employment
A contract of employment is the agreement made between the employer and the employee.
The company will offer to give a salary or wage in return for the employee to carry out duties
which their job description will explain. Tesco will have a contract of employment for each
employee they have, and the contents of each contract will change with each employee. For
example, some hours they are due to work each week and their holiday pay.
Within the contract of employment, different types of entitlements are drawn up, as well as
rights and procedures which will be looked at below..
Contractual entitlements
The contract will outline the benefits when employees are applying for a position in Tesco.
This is so that the employer and employee know what is expected of one another. These
entitlements may include;
● Disciplinary rules
● Hours of work
● Sick pay
● Amount of payment and the date of pay
● The type of employment. For example, seasonal, temporary or full time
● Notice period
● Pension benefits
Employee and employer rights
Within the employment contract, some of the entitlements contained within are statutory
entitlements (legal rights) and others are voluntary rights (which the manager sets). Express
terms are defined in the contract, for example, 28 days holiday per year. Note, in Tesco; this
may vary for the different types of employment where some employees work more hours
than others.
There are also ‘implied terms' within a contract which are not written down anywhere
because they are seen as too obvious. An example of an implied term is that the employer
will offer a safe place to work and that the employee will be honest and truthful. As the law
