An employment contract is an integral part of the employment relationship. Contracts can exist in a non-written form, however the purpose of a written contract is to define the terms of what is being agreed, to avoid things getting lost in translation, or over time, forgotten.

In this episode of our two part series, we discuss what we believe are the 9 critical express terms that should be included in a contract of employment, and why, being:

1. Notice of termination
2. Types of employment
3. Place of work
4. Remuneration
5. Hours of work
6. Off-set
7. Entire agreement clauses
8. Position descriptions
9. Clauses to survive the termination of employment
