The Employee Hire Agreement is a fundamental legal document used when establishing new employment relationships or formalizing existing ones in Australia. It serves as the primary contract between an employer and employee, incorporating mandatory provisions required by Australian employment law, including the Fair Work Act 2009, relevant Modern Awards, and National Employment Standards. This agreement is essential for protecting both parties' interests by clearly defining employment terms, conditions, responsibilities, and obligations. It should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship or when significantly modifying existing employment terms. The document typically includes details about position, compensation, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, confidentiality requirements, and termination provisions, all while ensuring compliance with Australian employment legislation.
