EEA Launch Contract Creator

25th May 2017
News Article Image

The Equestrian Employers Association(EEA) has an innovative tool called the Contract Creator

The smart online tool is an easy to follow, five-stage process, where you can select options and upload your own company logo to create a Written Statement of Employment Particulars, often referred to as a 'Written Contract'.

The Contract Creator will give you the peace of mind that you are complying with legislation and that your contracts have the most up to date legal details, whilst also including equestrian specific options.

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the EEA said, “We know from speaking to employers that not providing a written statement of terms of employment can be through a lack of understanding, so the aim of the Contract Creator is to help the employer create a legal document for their employees in five simple steps.”

My office team use the Contract Creator. It is easy and quick to use and I recommend it for any employer - it is the best solution to providing the Written Contract.  Nick Skelton


The Contract Creator is a free to use tool for all employers that belong to the EEA, which also offers many other online tools including the Staff Handbook Creator and Health and Safety Manual Creator.
