Contract of employment for England and Wales

The paper, and its other names

Where England and Wales appears on the paper
The door writes the place into a single clause. For England and Wales, the clause reads:
“This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.”
Nothing else on the paper moves. The sections, the blanks and their order are exactly as they were.
Where a dispute would be heard is a separate clause and a separate decision.
What this place actually changes
- Which name goes on the governing-law line. On this page, England and Wales.
- The currency for the pay. The record leaves England and Wales's own row empty.
No currency is filed against England and Wales itself. It is recorded one level up, against the United Kingdom, as the pound sterling. Nothing is pre-filled. A blank amount stays blank until somebody writes one.
There is nothing on file for England and Wales's language. The composer writes English, as it does everywhere.
Popular carries England and Wales, which puts it one press from the top of the list.
Blanks you leave stay blank and wait in the room. Nothing is filled in from a guess.

Questions, answered generally
Is a contract of employment in England and Wales different from an employment agreement?
No difference in the paper itself. Naming England and Wales changes the governing-law line, not the sections. That line, on this page's version, reads “This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.” Whatever the law adds is added by the law, not by the words you type.
What does a contract of employment for England and Wales usually include?
A role, a rate and a start date, with the terms around them written out. On this version the clause names England and Wales, and nothing else on the paper does. What local rules require comes from law rather than from the paper.
Can you write your own contract of employment in England and Wales?
Nothing stops you. Whether it says what you actually meant is the harder half. Here the governing-law line reads: “This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.” None of it is advice about your own situation.
