Document background
The Employment Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing formal employment relationships in Australia. It is essential for any business engaging employees, from small enterprises to large corporations, and is designed to comply with Australian employment law, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009 and related legislation. This agreement should be used whenever a new employee is hired or when significantly modifying an existing employment relationship. It encompasses crucial information including role specifications, compensation, benefits, workplace policies, and termination provisions, while incorporating mandatory requirements under Australian law such as National Employment Standards. The document provides clarity and protection for both employer and employee, helping prevent future disputes and ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations.
