Understanding Employment Contract Terms

Summary

Express terms in employment contracts are clearly stated, such as salary and job title, while implied terms are assumed, like a safe working environment. Breaches of express terms involve direct violations, whereas breaches of implied terms involve failing to meet legal obligations or customary practices. Employers must ensure a safe workplace under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. If you face issues like unsafe conditions or unfair treatment, consider reporting them to your employer or seeking legal advice.
