Employment Contracts

If you’re about to embark upon hiring employees, your employment contracts will depend on what type of employment would suit your business.

How many hours do you need the employee for each week? Can you even guarantee set hours each week? Do you want maximum flexibility, even if that costs a little bit more?

Broadly, the types of employment arrangements you have to choose from include full time, part time, casual, fixed or maximum term contracts.

You should have a written contract of employment for each employee that you’ve hired.

The contracts should be in plain language and easy for all parties to understand. They should also reflect the true nature of the employment relationship.

It is important that the contracts comply with the applicable laws, and also afford you the protections that your business needs.

Get your documents legally drafted or reviewed by someone that understands your business and what you want to protect.
