No jargon, no upsell.
- Does this meet the National Employment Standards?
- Yes. The template is reviewed and approved by an Australian solicitor and references the NES minimums for leave, notice and hours. The NES sets the floor no contract can go below, and this one is built around it.
- Can I use it for casual or part-time staff?
- Yes. You pick the employment type in the form and the contract adjusts, including the casual loading and the casual conversion clause where they apply.
- What if a Modern Award covers the role?
- The contract includes a field for the applicable Award. Most employees are covered by one, and you can check the role at fairwork.gov.au/awards before you fill it in.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. It is $79 once. No monthly fee, no auto-renewal, no lock-in. You pay for the document and that is the end of it.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes. You answer the questions that actually change the contract, and download a formatted .docx ready to sign.
