I'm thinking of selling copies of mine.

My one was composed by a HR company and covers everything you need to cover you and protect your business.

It cost over £800 and was upgraded last year.

What do you think it's worth?

I don't think so, I checked around and these are the figures being charged, the main problem with any contract and get one paragraph wrong and the whole contract is invalid.

and that one sentence can cost you thousands

I can recommend a good firm.

Our last couple cost £100 or thereabouts. A HR colleague from a former career who has his own HR Company.

Here's two, perfectly adequate. They look just like anything i've ever had from an employer. Just change the details, to your own situation. And of course HR people are going to want to charge you hundreds, thats their job.

http://www.human-resource-solutions.co.uk/Policies/Employment-Contract/Statement-of-Terms-and-Conditions.doc

Or you can use the free tool from Business link to create a written statement of employment . Its slightly different than a contract, but the page explains this.

I waste even more money on employers insurance, wages, uniforms and accountant bills and the guy sitting next to me and cleaning my customers windows is a hologram
