The agreement is particularly relevant for companies in their early to growth stages, providing a framework that can accommodate both immediate needs and future expansion. It includes specific provisions required under Pakistani legislation such as the Industrial and Commercial Employment Ordinance, while also incorporating modern employment practices common in the startup ecosystem.
