Full-Time Employment Agreement Checklist

Get IN TOUCH

Full-Time Employment Agreements differ based on the complexities of the job description and the kind of company or business.

In the creative and entertainment industries, it’s important to be very clear about the services an employee will be providing as well as specifically addressing Intellectual Property ownership. With full-time employees, there are a number of rights they are entitled to under Fair Work legislation, and it’s important to be clear about these as hiring someone on a full-time permanent basis is a big commitment. Our Full-Time Employment Agreement checklist will help you set out the basics that will form the basis of the contract.
