Everything you need to know about Employment Contracts
Is this a legal template or a custom document?
Every contract is custom-generated by AI specifically for your situation. We don't use fill-in-the-blank templates. Each document is unique and tailored to your business needs, role requirements, and the specific details you provide.
Do I need an attorney to review this?
While our Employment Contracts are structured around South African labour law frameworks (BCEA and Labour Relations Act), we recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing. Our contracts provide a professional, cost-effective starting point that significantly reduces drafting time and costs.
What makes this compliant with South African law?
Our AI is trained on South African employment law frameworks, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) and Labour Relations Act. The contracts include standard provisions for leave, working hours, termination procedures, and other requirements under SA labour law. However, this is AI-generated content structured around legal frameworks, not legal advice.
Can I edit the contract after it's generated?
Yes! If you purchase the "All Formats" package (R249), you'll receive editable Word and Google Docs versions. The PDF-only option (R199) can be converted to editable format using free online PDF-to-Word converters if needed.
How long does it take to generate my contract?
After completing the questionnaire and payment, your Employment Contract is typically generated and delivered via email within 5-10 minutes. You'll have 1-year access to download your document.
What if I need to hire multiple employees?
You'll need to generate a separate contract for each employee as each person's role, salary, and terms will likely differ. Consider our Business Pro Pack (5 documents for R799) if you need multiple contracts or other business documents. Once you have an editable version, you can also modify it for similar roles.
Can I use this for contractors or freelancers?
No, this Employment Contract is specifically for employees. For contractors and freelancers, you need our "Independent Contractor Agreement" instead. This distinction is important under South African law as employees have different rights and protections than independent contractors.
