Document background
The Employee Hire Agreement is a crucial legal document used in South Africa to formalize the employment relationship between an employer and a new employee. This agreement must comply with South African employment law, particularly the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, and Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998. It should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship to clearly define the terms and conditions of employment, including position, remuneration, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and other key aspects of the employment relationship. The agreement serves as a reference point throughout the employment period and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all agreed terms.
