An employment contract is a foundational document that establishes the terms and conditions of the relationship between an employer and an employee. A list of compulsory terms and conditions are indicated in accordance with the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014. This template is designed to provide a clear and comprehensive framework that ensures mutual understanding and compliance with legal standards, while allowing for customisation to meet the unique needs of your organisation and role.

This guide will walk you through the key sections of the contract, including job title, hours of work, remuneration, benefits, workplace policy requirements, and more. Each section includes placeholders (in red) and guidance to help you tailor the content to your specific requirements. Text in red is designed to alert you to the requirement for specific terms relating to your individual employee.

Whether you are hiring your first employee or adding to an established team, this template aims to simplify the process while promoting transparency, fairness, and legal integrity. Please note that while this template provides a solid starting point, in the case where additions or omissions are being made by you, it is recommended to seek professional legal advice to ensure alignment with employment law and regulations.
