This is a guided contract setup session

This call is designed for businesses that want to create or manage employment contracts through HR Command. Our team will walk you through the platform and get the right contract set up with you on the call.

It is not a general legal advice session. If you have a complex dispute or specific legal matter, our workplace advice line can help point you in the right direction.

Why This Matters

A bad contract is a compliance risk waiting to happen

Most employment disputes start with a poorly drafted or outdated contract. The consequences can be costly and hard to undo.

Award and underpayment breaches

Contracts that don't correctly reflect the applicable Modern Award can expose you to underpayment claims and Fair Work investigations.

Unclear termination rights

Ambiguous notice periods and termination clauses leave you vulnerable in unfair dismissal claims and Fair Work Commission disputes.

Outdated templates

Many contracts circulating online don't reflect current legislation. An outdated template can be worse than no contract at all.

Duties and hours disputes

Without clearly documented duties, hours and entitlements, you have limited ability to manage performance or defend disputes.

Employment conditions change. When legislation or awards change, contracts need to be updated. HR Command keeps your documents current so you don't get caught out.

Employment Contracts

One contract gets you in.
The whole platform keeps you compliant.

Every contract below is included in HR Command. So are 100+ HR policies, advice line access and the full compliance toolkit. You're not just downloading a template. You're getting the system that should sit behind it.
