Document background
The Employment Term Sheet is a crucial preliminary document used in Australian employment contexts to establish clear expectations and basic terms of employment before proceeding with a comprehensive employment contract. It is typically used during the final stages of recruitment when an employer and potential employee have agreed in principle to an employment relationship but need to document the key terms. The document includes essential information such as role details, compensation, working arrangements, and basic obligations while ensuring compliance with Australian employment legislation, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009 and National Employment Standards. This term sheet serves as a foundation for the subsequent employment contract and helps prevent misunderstandings about fundamental employment terms during the hiring process.
