Permanent Employment Contract Template
The Fiddes Group has taken the hard work out of writing employment contracts. A TFG Fixed Term Employment Contract template sets out the terms and conditions of the employment relationship between you and your future employee including:
- Probation, employee obligations, WH&S, zero tolerance of negative behaviours, company values, confidential information, intellectual property, declarations checks & licences, performance review & development, remuneration, employee expenses, hours of work, leave entitlements, termination of agreement, company property, email & internet usage, social media, dress code and complaints & dispute resolution.
Drop in your businesses logo and you're ready to go. If there is a clause you don't need, such as dress code, simply edit it out! The contract is set up as a Word Mail Merge file, so you simply open the Word file, click the Mail Merge function, selection the Mail Merge file and then begin adding your employees details in.
This Fixed Term Employment Contract template complies with the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the National Employment Standards (NES) currently in force and at the time of purchase.
