Basic Employment Contract

From 1 January 2010 there were several important changes in Australia’s Workplace laws that affect all employees and employers 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 show that he or she is better off over-all as a result of the deal you make.

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 Basic Employment Contract 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.

This Basic Employment Contract is formatted for your ease of use using Microsoft Word and is available for immediate download. You can use this template repeatedly, simply edit the fields as you require and print your legal agreement!
