Employing your own personal assistant

Statement of terms and conditions (contract)

The statement of employment terms and conditions (a contract) details information such as:

  • hours of work
  • rates of pay
  • probationary period
  • notice
  • annual leave
  • disciplinary procedures.

The personal assistant must be given and be asked to sign their agreement of the terms and conditions within the first two months of employment, but ideally before they start working for you.
