What is an employment contract?

An employment contract is a written agreement between a business and an employee that sets out the job role, pay, working hours, and the rules both sides must follow.

Do I need a written employment contract?

Yes. A written contract protects both you and your employee. It prevents misunderstandings about pay, duties, notice periods, and what happens if the relationship ends.

What is the difference between full-time and part-time employment?

Full-time employees work a set number of hours per week (usually 35–40) and often receive full benefits. Part-time employees work fewer hours and may receive reduced benefits.

What is a contractor agreement?

A contractor agreement covers someone who is self-employed and provides services to your business. Unlike employees, contractors pay their own taxes and are not entitled to employee benefits.

What is a probation period?

A probation period is a trial phase at the start of employment — usually 3 to 6 months — where both sides can assess whether the role is a good fit before the full contract takes effect.

What should a termination clause include?

It should say how much notice each party must give, what circumstances allow for immediate dismissal, and whether any severance pay is owed when employment ends.

What is a non-compete clause in an employment contract?

A non-compete clause restricts the employee from working for competitors or starting a competing business for a set period after they leave your company.
