Document background
The Employment Contract Foreign Worker is a specialized agreement used when Pakistani companies hire employees from other countries. This document is essential for establishing legally compliant employment relationships under Pakistani law while addressing the specific requirements and considerations for foreign workers. It serves as a comprehensive framework that combines standard employment terms with specialized provisions for international employment, including work permit requirements, visa compliance, accommodation arrangements, and repatriation terms. The contract must adhere to various Pakistani regulations including The Foreigners Act, 1946, Employment of Foreign Nationals Rules, 1966, and relevant labor laws. It is particularly important for companies expanding their international workforce or seeking specialized skills not readily available in the local market. The document typically requires approval from relevant authorities and must be structured to satisfy both immigration and employment law requirements.
