Frequently Asked Questions

What must an employment contract include in Kenya?
Under Kenya's Employment Act 2007, an employment contract must include: the names and addresses of both parties, the date of commencement, the job title and job description, the place of work, working hours, remuneration and benefits, leave entitlements, and the notice period for termination.
What must an employment contract include in South Africa?
Under South Africa's BCEA, a written employment contract must include: full names of both parties, the job title and description, the place of work, commencement date, ordinary hours of work, remuneration, leave entitlements (annual, sick, family responsibility), and the notice period. For fixed-term contracts, the reason for the fixed term and its expiry date must also be included.
Do I need to include a probation period?
A probation period is not legally required in most countries, but is recommended best practice. It gives both employer and employee a trial period to assess the employment relationship. Probation periods typically range from 1 to 6 months depending on the role and country.
Can I customise this contract after downloading?
Yes. The PDF download is a template — you should review and customise it to fit your specific situation before having it signed. Always ensure the final contract complies with your employment contract, any applicable collective bargaining agreements, and local labour law.
