Employee Contracts

Page updated: 07/10/2026

Welcome to the Employee Contracts section.

Here you will find guidance and information on the different types of employment and engagement contracts used across the Council, including permanent, temporary, fixed-term, casual worker and agency placements. Whether you are a manager recruiting to a post, an employee or casual/agency worker looking for information about your contract or engagement, or someone seeking guidance on employment arrangements, this section is designed to help.

The guidance within this section explains when different contract types should be used and provides practical information to support managers, employees and workers throughout the employment lifecycle.

As additional guidance, resources and tools are developed, they will be added to this section, creating a central source of information for all employee contract matters.
