This document is a resource of basic provisions that could be included in employment agreements and is designed to be adapted by employers and employees to fit their own circumstances. It does not cover every situation. Employers and employees should agree to those provisions that suit their circumstances, together with any further provisions or other changes that are needed.
The Department of Labour recommends that employers and employees get appropriate advice before signing any employment agreement.
The Employment Agreement Guide is not legal advice from the Department of Labour. It does not constitute recommendations about, or endorsement of, any particular terms or conditions of employment by the Department of Labour, either generally or in any particular situation. The Department of Labour cannot accept any responsibility for changes made to the Employment Agreement Builder once it has been downloaded.
