A General Employment Contract is essential for formalizing employment relationships in Australia and ensuring compliance with relevant employment legislation. This document should be used when hiring new employees or updating terms for existing staff members, providing a clear framework for the employment relationship. It incorporates mandatory requirements under the Fair Work Act 2009 and National Employment Standards, while allowing customization for specific roles and industries. The contract typically covers essential elements such as employment terms, compensation, benefits, duties, leave entitlements, and termination provisions, serving as a fundamental reference point for both employer and employee throughout the employment relationship.
