custom and practice

custom and practice
In the context of employment law, the process by which a practice or benefit within a particular workplace or employer which has not previously been explicitly recognised or recorded in a contract of employment may become implied into the contract following regular informal usage. Such custom or practice must be "reasonable, certain and notorious" for it to amount to an implied term of the contract.
