Contracts

A Contract of Employment is a formal agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of your work relationship in Australia. This document, which can be written or even verbal in some cases, plays a crucial role for both employers and employees. As an employee, a well-defined contract clarifies your rights and obligations. It details your starting position, salary and benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination clauses. Understanding these terms is essential to ensure you're being treated fairly and receiving what you're entitled to.

For employers, a clear Contract of Employment sets expectations for employees and protects your business interests. It outlines their duties, acceptable workplace behaviour, intellectual property ownership, and confidentiality obligations. Having a written contract minimizes confusion and potential disputes down the line. However, Australian law dictates that certain minimum entitlements, outlined in the Fair Work Act, must be included in the contract, even if not explicitly mentioned.
