The Permanent Employment Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Pakistan to establish and formalize an ongoing employment relationship between an employer and employee. This document is essential when converting temporary positions to permanent roles, hiring new permanent staff, or formalizing existing employment arrangements. It incorporates mandatory provisions required by Pakistani labor laws, including the Industrial Relations Act 2012, Factories Act 1934, and relevant provincial legislation. The contract addresses key aspects such as compensation, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination procedures, while ensuring compliance with minimum wage requirements, social security obligations, and workplace safety regulations. It serves as a crucial reference point for both employers and employees throughout the employment relationship.
