What Should Be Clear in an Employment Contract?

Job Title and Duties

The role, responsibilities and reporting line should be clear enough to avoid uncertainty about expectations.

State basic salary, allowances, incentives and other agreed benefits accurately.

Confirm whether the contract is fixed-term or indefinite and how renewal is handled.

Working arrangements, rest periods, annual leave and related entitlements should be understood.

Confidentiality, workplace policies, lawful instructions and employer responsibilities should be reflected appropriately.

Address termination scenarios, notice and contractual consequences consistently with applicable law.
