[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 78078, member: 2672"] You can’t have an employment contract without sick leave of some form. There is something called statutory sick leave which can be paid up to 28 weeks that all employees across the UK are entitled to. It is a standard that all UK employees are entitled to by law. The terms are you looking to negotiate? It’s unlikely they will be willing to negotiate. It’s a standard set of terms that applies to all employees. To put it into perspective, I have never had anyone negotiate a term in a graduate contract, let alone in law. I can’t advise on a contract as I am not a lawyer. Just read through it carefully and if there are any terms you are specifically worried about, feel free to PM me or tag me in a post and I can explain why it is in there. The only terms I can think of as being ones to check are: - if you haven’t done the GDL/LPC, what are the firm’s policy if you fail (are you allowed to resit)? - what are the repayment terms if you withdraw from or don’t complete your training contract? Do you have to pay the firm back and in what capacity? - big one to consider if you are on a SQE training contract will be if you have a probation period and if so what is it (typically 3-6 months)? That didn’t really exist in the old training contract system. [/QUOTE]
