Example Case Scenarios 1. Peter applied for a job as an assistant in the
distribution centre of a national furniture chain

at the interview was verbally offered the job. He was
asked to start on 1.9.16 at 8.30 am, at their Luton
branch. He was told that his annual salary would be
£20,000 and that he was entitled to 3 week’s holiday
per year.
He started work as agreed, having received no formal written
confirmation or contract of employment. On 30.10.16 he
received a written statement in the post which stated his
employer, his start date, the store address and where he
should go to get advice on any grievance.
In the staff room at work, pinned to the notice board, are
details of sick pay and relevant procedures.
2. Saif attends an interview for his first job after leaving
college. He is offered a labouring job with a building
firm. A week after the interview he received written
confirmation of what was agreed to at the interview:
the start date, the pay, and procedures for grievance
and disciplinary matters. He receives nothing further
in writing.
