The Employee Handbook and your Contract of Employment
- Contractual Information -
Your Personal Statement sets out some of the terms and conditions of your employment. Taken together, your Personal Statement, sections of this Handbook enclosed in a blue box with the header 'Contractual Information' , and your first Flexible Benefits Confirmation Statement and thereafter, your most recent Flexible Benefits Confirmation Statement comprise your Contract of Employment with the FSA subject to any amendments that from time to time, the FSA may make. Accordingly, the FSA reserves the right to amend the Contract of Employment of all employees and also to vary it in respect of individual employees.
The Employee Handbook contains policies and procedures which do not form part of your Contract of Employment and which may be replaced, withdrawn or varied by the FSA at any time.
This Employee Handbook, together with your Personal Statement constitute written particulars for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (as amended from time to time). Where there is a conflict between your Personal Statement and the Employee Handbook, your Personal Statement will prevail.
- Contractual Information -
The FSA reserves the right to make non-fundamental changes to the terms and conditions of employment enclosed in a blue box with the header 'Contractual Information' written in white, in this Handbook from time to time.
You will be notified of minor changes of detail by way of a general notice to all employees affected by the change and any such changes take effect from the date of the notice. The changes will be automatically made to the Intranet Handbook.
You will be given not less than one month’s notice in writing of any significant changes which may be given by way of an individual notice or a general notice to all employees. Such changes will be deemed to be accepted unless you notify us of any objection in writing before the expiry of the notice period.
The FSA is constantly reviewing its terms and conditions of employment and policies to compare them with best practice in similar organisations and appropriate changes may be made to reflect such best practice.
