Introduction

order to attribute different responsibilities and rights between parties who can bargain. It is
usually a contract between employer and an employer (Pinna and Ibba, 2018). The following
report consist of different types of employment contracts along with various examples in which
organisation uses these contracts. All the advantages and disadvantages of each of these contract
is also mentioned comparing all these contracts. The report also consist real-life example of

Task 1
Different type of contracts
The contracts in an organisation are generally determined by the hours one is working.
But it is not always sure that the case is similar. Also it is necessary before signing anything that
all the options available to employees are understood well by them. Below mentioned are
different types of employment contracts:
Permanent full-time contracts: A full-time permanent contract is most common type of
employment contract in full time used by an organisation. These contracts are generally offered
for various permanent positions in an organisation. It is usually set out for employees on the
basis of their salary and hourly wages (De Cuyper and Isaksson, 2017). There are a number of
different details that will be included in a full-time contract which include holiday entitlements,
parental leave allowances for employees, pension benefits for employees, and also statutory sick
pay leaves for employees. In a full-time contract there is no set for a minimum number of hours
that is required to be work by an employee. However there are some of the employers who
recognise a full time work for a week which consists of more than 35 hours.
Examples:
 Working as a support worker in dimensions UK Ltd is a permanent full-time contract.
The organisation have provided advertisement in which they refer that they will be

paying 9 pounds per hour to the full time employees. They also do not require any
experience or support and they will be training the employees themselves.
 Another example can be taken of a business development manager for Buchanan Search.
The organisation specifies that they will be paying £23,000-£40,000 per annum. The
location is also stated London for the employee and the employer is required to join the
London office and grow their business there.
Advantages: Are a number of benefits provided to the employee who go for permanent full-
time contracts. They are receiving annual leave and also leave for six days which is not allowed
to part-timers usually. They can also get planned for holiday, short breaks in organisation. An
employee who is using permanent full-time contract also has advancement opportunities in their
career (Guest and Isaksson, 2019). The company also provides insurance benefits to the
employees who are working full time rather than those who are working part-time in an
organisation. The salary as well as schedule of employees working in full time is fixed which a
great benefit is for their lifetime at it helps them in managing their personal and professional life
balance.
Disadvantages: It is often seen that employees who is working full time often becomes
career stagnant. This is because they are comfortable with their pay and the workplace
environment and they do not look for good opportunities which is available for them in the
market. It is hard for an employee working in full time employment to realise their true potential.
It is often seen that they get used to a job and do not want to be creative and work similarly
throughout their lives. The CV of employees in permanent full-time contract become boring as
they do not have various experience and also if they have to search for a new job it is very
difficult for them to find one suiting their needs and requirements.
Permanent part-time contracts: In a permanent part-time contract the employer is required to
work for few were contracted hours as compare to a full-time employee. It is generally seen that
they also have a permanent position in the organisation due to their contracts but there are
usually some details mention in their contracts which are different from that of full-time
employees. It is often seen that the number of hours they are working and schedule to work for
organisation is clearly less than that of the full time employees. It is often seen that organisation
