A worker who is paid £20,000 per year and works 48 hours a week will have what type of contract?
- A.
  
  Fixed-term contract
- B.
  
  Annual hours contract
Correct Answer
B. Annual hours contract

Explanation
A worker who is paid £20,000 per year and works 48 hours a week will have an annual hours contract. This type of contract specifies a set number of hours that the worker is expected to work over the course of a year, rather than a fixed number of hours per week or month. This allows for flexibility in scheduling and may involve varying hours from week to week, as long as the total number of hours worked over the year remains the same.

If an employee worked 20 hours a week over 3 days would they have a part time contract?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If an employee worked 20 hours a week over 3 days, it can be inferred that they have a part-time contract. This is because a part-time contract typically involves working fewer hours than a full-time contract, and the employee in question is working less than the standard 40 hours a week. Additionally, the fact that they are working over 3 days suggests that their work schedule is not spread out evenly over the entire week, further indicating a part-time arrangement. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

The correct answer is The Employment Rights Act 1996. This act defines the 'contract of employment', which refers to the agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines their rights, responsibilities, and terms of employment.

This means that the employment contract begins when you formally agree to the job offer, regardless of when you actually start the job or sign the contract. Accepting the job offer indicates your agreement to the terms and conditions of the employment, and it is at this point that the contract is considered to be in effect.
