Employment Agreement – Fixed Term

The Employment agreement – Fixed Term is a true fixed term contract which will typically conclude at the end of the fixed term and not at the initiative of the employer or employee. There is no provision to terminate the employment during the term, other than for serious misconduct.

If you would like the ability to terminate the employment during the term (if required) by providing notice of termination, please refer to our Maximum Term template. 

We note there are limitations on the use of Fixed Term contracts. If you would like further information or advice, please contact our Advice Line on 03 8662 5222.

The contract covers a wide range of employment conditions and includes optional clauses which you can include or remove depending on the needs of your business.

The contract is not intended to apply to full-time/part-time employees or casual employees. For template agreements for full-time/part-time employees or casual employees, please refer to the specific template information on this page. 

If you require advice or assistance in relation to completion of the template, we offer a consultation service. This is available at an additional cost, please contact the Workplace Relations Advice Line on 03 8662 5222 for details.

Please note that use of our templates is subject to the Important Information Guide which will be downloaded together with the template. Please ensure you read these documents carefully and seek advice if you have any questions.
