Minimum Term Employment Contract

"I need a Minimum Term Employment Contract for a senior software developer position in our Toronto tech startup, with a 12-month minimum term starting March 1, 2025, including provisions for remote work and stock options."

Document background
The Minimum Term Employment Contract is specifically designed for use in Canadian employment relationships where a fixed minimum term of employment is required. This type of agreement is commonly used for project-based work, seasonal employment, temporary positions, or when organizations need to secure employee commitment for a specific duration. The contract ensures compliance with Canadian federal and provincial employment standards while providing clarity on the employment relationship's minimum duration, terms, and conditions. It includes essential provisions required by Canadian law such as compensation, benefits, working hours, and termination clauses, while allowing flexibility to add role-specific requirements. This document is particularly useful for employers seeking to establish clear employment terms while maintaining compliance with Canadian employment legislation and protecting both parties' interests.
