What is a Contract?

Every employee should receive an Employment Contract when they get a job, which lays down the terms and conditions of their work.

Example of an Employment Contract

Your Employment Contract is a vitally important document that features such important details as Salary, Hours of Work and more. Here is a helpful example.

The Fixed Term Contract

A Fixed Term Contract is a contract that lasts between two specific dates. Make sure you talk about your working conditions before you sign such a contract.

The Project Contract

A Project Contract is one in which an employee works to complete a specific project. This could take ten days or ten months! Find out more.

Termination of a Contract

Make sure you know when an Employment Contract can be Terminated. It is important to know that it cannot be cancelled without a valid reason.

Contracts and Pregnancy

Being pregnant, or wanting to be pregnant, should not affect your work contract at all. If it does, this is illegal in terms of South African Labour Laws!
