Why Your Business Needs a Full-Time Employment Contract Template
If your business engages employees on a permanent contract with a set minimum number of hours per week, then these employees are considered full-time employees, and you need a full-time employment contract. A well-drafted contract is crucial for setting clear expectations, protecting your business, and ensuring compliance with Australian employment law.
Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), full-time employees are entitled to paid leave (including annual leave, sick leave, and carer’s leave), written notice (or payment in lieu of notice) if their employment is terminated, and paid public holidays. Our template ensures all these entitlements are clearly addressed, helping you avoid potential disputes and legal complications.
The template has been drafted in alignment with Fair Work legislation and the National Employment Standards. Our dedicated compliance team continuously monitors legislative changes, ensuring our employment agreements remain current and compliant. For any updates that occur after your purchase, we will notify you by email regarding any necessary changes.
Templates are accessible via the Business Kitz online platform and are downloadable in PDF and Microsoft Word formats. The template is designed to be user-friendly, even for those with basic computer skills.
