General Employment Contract
The Australian Federal, State and Territory governments have expanded their concept of employee protection to do away with some of the matters introduced under the discredited Workchoices scheme.
Since January 2009 there has been a process of modernising awards, and 'modern awards' now cover specific areas. From 1 January 2010 there are several important changes in Australia’s workplace laws that affect all employers and employees in the national workplace relations system. The changes include the introduction of new National Employment Standards (NES), and the commencement of modern awards.
All contracts of employment, whether they are based on an award or not, must cover National Employment Standards. You have flexibility in your approach both to the Award conditions and the National Employment Standards, and you can negotiate almost anything you like with an individual employee as long as you can demonstrate that he or she is better off over-all as a result of the bargain you strike.
If you are looking for an agreement that modifies the application of a modern award or enterprise agreement then you need our Individual Flexibility Agreement
The letter in this General Employment Agreement kit contains a detailed document setting out the relationship between the employer and employee. Once the employee accepts the terms by signing the letter (and keeping a signed copy) it becomes the employment contract, subject to the terms of the Award (if there is one) and the Fair Work Act 2009.
