Grow your team with confidence

It’s mandatory that every employer holds a signed employment agreement for each and every employee. This includes casual, part-time, fixed term and permanent employees. 

It is sometimes tempting for employers to use an employment agreement that they have had for many years, a generic “template” agreement, or one taken from a mate of a mate. However, as an employer it is vital that the agreement correctly records the specific terms of the employment relationship. Caution must also be exercised with fixed term and casual agreements as both have specific contractual requirements. Therefore, it’s best not to leave your contracts to chance. 

We’re happy to offer assistance to employers in drafting the terms of their agreements. Each agreement is tailored to the needs of your workplace and takes into account any special policies in place (such as staff discounts, use of company vehicles, or bonus provisions) or requirements specific to your workplace such as health and safety policies, and restraints of trade.
