Employers should be aware that the contract of employment is the legal foundation of the employment relationship.
Before drafting a contract, the employer should consider which clauses are needed, based on the appropriate standard terms for the role and anything already agreed with the prospective employee.
The employer should ensure that the contract terms are clear and unambiguous and that they accurately reflect the intentions of the parties.
