Employment agreements and policies
Every collective and individual employment agreement must contain a clear explanation of the processes for resolving employment relationship problems. This explanation does not need to be complex or long. It should be written very clearly, so everyone knows what processes they are required to follow, what their rights are and what happens when a problem is raised. The Department’s Employment Agreement Builder can help you draft an employment agreement.
Some employment agreements or policies specify the types of situation that might result in disciplinary action or dismissal, or the process the employer and employee must follow. It is important that both sides consult the employment agreement and any relevant policies before a disciplinary or dismissal process begins.
