An employment contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee; which sets out there employment rights, responsibilities and duties. These are referred to as the ‘terms’ of the contract. An employment job contract can be made as soon as you accept the job offer, therefore meaning you accepted the terms offered by the employer. Having a written contract could cut out later disputes and help you understand your employment rights. The contract binds you and your employer until it ends; by giving notice or until the terms are changed in agreement between you and your employer.

There is a term referred to as ‘flexibility cause’, where your employer reserves the right to change the terms and certain conditions. However your employer’s changes won’t be unreasonable, as many contracts have an implied term of mutual trust and confidence, requiring them to act honourably. There may be times when either you or your employer wants to change some terms of the contract; this can’t be done without each other’s agreement. If you wish to make a change to one of the terms, speak with your employer and explain why. If they want to change something, they should consult you, explain their reasoning why, and be open to alternative idea you may put forth.
