Access the complete library of employment agreement templates — from basic contracts to senior manager agreements with restraint of trade. All drafted by Australian employment lawyers and Fair Work Act 2009 compliant.
Quick Summary
Every new hire in Australia needs a written employment agreement that clearly sets out the terms of engagement. Without a properly drafted agreement, employers risk disputes over pay rates, hours, entitlements, and termination terms. A well-structured contract protects your business by defining expectations upfront, ensuring compliance with the National Employment Standards, and providing a clear framework for managing the employment relationship. For senior roles, restraint of trade and confidentiality clauses are essential to protect your business interests after the employee leaves.
All 9 templates below are included with every paid membership plan. Each template is fully customisable, comes with guidance notes for correct completion, and is aligned with current Fair Work Act 2009 requirements and the National Employment Standards.
