Document background
The Regular Employment Contract serves as a fundamental legal document in South African employment relationships, establishing the terms and conditions of permanent employment between an employer and employee. This document is essential for any ongoing employment relationship and must comply with South African labor legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Labour Relations Act, and Employment Equity Act. It should be used when hiring permanent employees, whether full-time or part-time, and includes crucial information about the position, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and obligations of both parties. The contract provides legal protection for both employer and employee while ensuring transparency in the employment relationship.
