Childcare Counsel - section 1 statements, recording disciplinaries

Our resident employment lawyer Caroline Robins, Eversheds principal associate, answers your questions

Q I understand the written terms that must be provided to staff are to change…

A The minimum written terms that must be provided to workers and employees in England and Wales, ‘a written statement of particulars’ or a ‘section 1 statement’, are changing.

Previously, the requirement to provide a section 1 statement applied to employees only. From April 2020, this requirement is extended to workers (i.e. individuals who work for the company but don’t have full employment status) who are engaged on or after 6 April 2020. However, current employees and workers will be able to request a section 1 statement after this date, which must be complied with within one month.
