(Based on author’s site www.geocities.com/emptrms)
There exists a contract between each employee and employer which is not necessarily, but is preferred to be, in writing, not necessarily as a single, and often more than one, document readily accessible, containing in a written statement which must be issued to the employee by the employer within a period of not longer than two months from the date of the commencement of the employment, if the employee works more than eight hours per week and has continuously been employed for at least one month, which must contain the major terms of the contract of employment ~of which some are express terms and found also in itemised pay or salary slips and notices and in such other documents as work-rules and relating to any collective agreements affecting and not by the individual employee contracted with objected to -as well as in verbal exchanges such as oral instructions (if only can be proven, in practice), and some are legally bindingly implied terms in common-law and/or by custom and practice and increasingly by statute.

An employee has the right to ask an employment tribunal has the obligation to order an employer to issue these and, if the Written Statement is not in issued or not in full or clear, in case of employment termination or any other employment dispute to deem it issued as statutorily required and binding in determining the matter -as well as to hold the employer in breach of the laws relating to contracts of employment.
