Employment contracts set out the terms of work for new hires. They can also be referred to as job agreements, staff contracts, or onboarding documents. In the hospitality industry, templates help ensure consistency across positions, reduce admin time, and support compliance with workplace regulations. This guide explains how to create a new employment contract template, add custom fields, and reuse existing contracts as a base.
