Fixed Term Employment Agreements are essential documents in Australian employment law, used when organizations need to hire employees for specific periods, projects, or seasonal work. These agreements are particularly useful for project-based roles, parental leave coverage, or seasonal peaks in business activity. The Fixed Term Employment Agreement must comply with the Fair Work Act 2009 and related legislation, including provisions for minimum employment conditions, leave entitlements, and termination arrangements. It provides both parties with clarity regarding the duration of employment, responsibilities, remuneration, and conditions, while ensuring all statutory requirements are met. This document type is commonly used across various industries and can be adapted to different position levels, from entry-level to senior management roles.
