Some suggestions on individual employment agreements This section sets out a number of optional matters that are often found in employment agreements. These are issues that employers and employees may wish to include in the agreement or bargain about. The agreement may include a date on which the employment starts. If the employment is for a fixed term the agreement must also specify when or how the employment ends. Pay day and method of payment When deciding the days on which the employee is to be paid, the employer and employee may wish to think about what is important to each party.
Employees have the right to be paid in cash, with some exceptions.
Any other arrangement , for example direct credit or cheque, must be by agreement. Pay reviews Employers and employees may want pay to be reviewed on a regular basis. This makes it clear where the employee will perform the work. It may be at a single location or it may be at a series of different locations. Agreements can also deal with payment during training.
