Document background
The Caretaker Contract of Employment is essential for establishing clear employment terms between property management entities and caretakers in Australia. This document is used when engaging caretakers for residential buildings, commercial properties, or mixed-use developments, ensuring compliance with Australian employment legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009 and state-specific requirements. It covers crucial aspects such as work duties, hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and often includes provisions for on-site accommodation. The contract is particularly important as caretaker roles typically involve significant responsibility for property maintenance, security, and resident services, requiring clear definition of obligations and expectations. It should be updated periodically to reflect changes in employment law and property management requirements.
