The Agreement Contract Between Employer And Employees is a fundamental legal document used in South African employment relationships to formalize the terms and conditions of employment. This document is essential for any new hire or employment relationship modification in South Africa, ensuring compliance with key legislation including the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, and Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998. It serves to protect both employer and employee interests by clearly defining rights, obligations, and expectations while incorporating mandatory provisions required by South African law. The agreement should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship or when substantially modifying existing employment terms, providing a comprehensive framework for the ongoing employment relationship.
