What should a contract of employment include?

Basically, much standard information ought to –and is sometimes required to – be specified in a contract of employment, such as information regarding salary or wages, notice period, working hours, job title, overtime pay, any maternity pay if such information deviates from the statutory minimum requirements, holidays, and personal data processing in reference to the employment.

It is essential that you check if the employee is subject to a collective agreement, and further, you must also consider if the 120-day rule and/or any other specific clauses, such as non-compete or non-solicitation clauses, must be incorporated in the contract.

It is important that the contract of employment s states all the terms and conditions of applying to the employment.
