Amount of payment Clearly stating what the basis for determining payment will be, and how much (per hour, week, month or year) will be paid is at the heart of any employment relationship and should be stated.
How and when payment is to be made should be stated so that employees know when and where payment can legitimately be expected.

Usual hours of work need to be clearly stated in order to ensure that the employee is not being required to work more than statutory maximum hours of work.
- How hours of work can be extended (overtime) should be explained, particularly if the employer can require the employee to work extra hours.
- Overtime compensation Whilst paying overtime is about remuneration, clauses on overtime payments are often found in the hours of work section. It does not really matter about order and placement of these clauses, just so long as they are included somewhere.
- Breaks should be stated in order to ensure that the employee is being provided their legal entitlements. If the employee is paid a wage based on the number of hours worked it is also useful to state whether breaks are paid or unpaid.
