Document background
The Certificate of Employment Details is a crucial document required by law in England and Wales that formalizes the employment relationship. It must be issued in compliance with Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, which mandates that employers provide written particulars of employment to their employees. This certificate serves as evidence of the employment relationship and includes mandatory information such as start date, salary, working hours, holiday entitlement, and other key terms. Recent legislation requires that the Certificate of Employment Details must be provided on or before the first day of employment, making it an essential document in the onboarding process.
