How To Use An Employment Contract Template To Streamline Recruitment

How an Employment Contract template can streamline your recruitment process

Recruiting and employing staff is fundamental to any business, large or small. If you’re not used to the process of putting on new staff it can be easy to overlook important legal requirements which can cause hassles down the track.

That’s where Employment Contract Templates come in – they can be used as a handy guide or checklist to ensure that all the essential legal stuff is taken care of.

When you sit down with your new employee – go through the contract together. It will cover important issues like payment and the award (if applicable), hours, the role of the employee, tasks, confidentiality and so forth. The contract ensures that both parties understand their obligations in the relationship and reduces the likelihood of conflict down the track.

A written Employment Agreement provides a solid record of your arrangements and starts your professional relationship in the right way.

General Employment Contract

From 1 January 2010 there have been several important changes to Australia’s workplace laws that affected all employers and employees in the national workplace relations system. The changes included the introduction of new National Employment Standards (NES), and the commencement of 'modern awards'.
