Permanent employment contract: download the PDF for free

Finding a suitable agreement for an ongoing role can be difficult when working hours, pay, duties, and termination conditions need to be recorded clearly. A permanent employment contract provides a written framework for an indefinite working relationship between an employer and an employee. The downloadable PDF can be used as a practical starting point for documenting regular employment arrangements, including permanent part-time work with predictable hours below full-time levels. It helps organize essential terms in one place and supports clearer discussions before the employment relationship begins. The document should still be checked against applicable workplace laws, awards, enterprise agreements, and the specific conditions of the role.

What a permanent employment contract includes

• Employer and employee identification fields for recording the parties to the agreement.
• Job title, principal duties, workplace location, and reporting arrangements.
• Working hours, attendance expectations, pay details, and payment frequency.
• Conditions covering leave, confidentiality, workplace policies, and performance expectations.
• Notice periods, termination procedures, signature sections, and dates for confirming acceptance.

A completed agreement gives both parties a clear reference for day-to-day employment conditions and can reduce uncertainty about responsibilities, scheduling, and payment. It is particularly useful when a role is ongoing but the employee works regular part-time hours rather than a full-time schedule. Before signing, each provision should be reviewed for consistency with the relevant jurisdiction and industry requirements. Any special arrangements, such as variable hours, probation, allowances, or remote work, should be stated directly instead of being left to informal discussions. Keeping a signed copy with related workplace records also makes it easier to verify the agreed terms if questions arise later.
