Great news, you’re already on the right track in terms of compliance!
You’re not quite on the right track. Not to worry though, there is always room for improvement!
Australian employment contract templates
In Australia, the employment relationship imposes duties and responsibilities on both employers and employees. This means that it is imperative to have compliant Australian employment contract templates at your disposal. You can seek help with drafting employment contract templates (permanent, fixed term, casual) which are compliant with Australian legislation and tailored to your organisation’s needs.
Modern Awards & Enterprise Agreements
It is mandatory to determine which Modern Award, and of which level, may apply to each individual role within your organisation. If a Modern Award applies, it will contain employment terms and conditions regarding wages, overtime, allowances, working hours, breaks, leave, and more for (classified) employees. If not determined, or determined incorrectly, your organisation may face back pay, prosecution and/or fines. You may also wish to create an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement specific to your organisational requirements.
