Check if your employer can make changes to your contract

If your employer wants to change a term in your contract, this is called a ‘variation of contract’.

Your employer should only make a change to your contract if at least one of these applies:

  • you agree to the change
  • your contract says your employer can make certain changes – this is called a ‘variation clause’
  • the law is changing – for example if you get the National Minimum Wage and the rate changes
