Contract - casual worker

This casual worker contract is suitable for a casual or zero hours worker and is likely to be most suitable if your staffing needs fluctuate, for example if you have a business model that requires a bank of staff that you can call on as needed, without having to pay them if you have no work. The contract includes all the information that you are legally obliged to provide to your casual worker in writing about their terms of engagement, and is fully customisable to your individual requirements. It also includes a number of standard protections for your business, for example to guard your confidential information and ensure any intellectual property created by the casual worker belongs to the company.

Data protection policy

A data protection policy is an internal document providing a framework for how your organisation will comply with its data protection obligations when handling personal data. This includes what expectations you have of your staff when they are processing personal data on your behalf and how different legal obligations should be complied with. It might also be referred to as a data security policy, a data protection statement or a staff data protection policy. Whenever your business processes personal data, you are under strict legal requirements to put in place appropriate measures to ensure that your processing is compliant with data protection law at all times. This template will help you to set out what obligations your staff are under when they are processing any personal data for your business. This policy could form part of your staff handbook or it could be provided as a standalone policy. If you’re looking to produce an entire staff handbook, use our template staff handbook instead. Alternatively you can purchase this policy as part of the Data protection policy toolkit or the Remote working and cybersecurity toolkit .
