The terms of an employment contract can be written or verbal. The difficulty with relying on verbal promises as contractual terms is that they are very much more difficult to prove; it will often be your word against your employee's. This can be particularly difficult if a period of time has passed, or if the relevant manager who made the verbal promise has left. Therefore, if a verbal promise has been made and you wish to rely on this as a contractual term, it's wise to incorporate it into your employment contract. Find out more about employment law.  more
