Employment Contracts

Information for business owners regarding contracts, including employment contracts as well as Residential and Commercial Work contracts.

MPAQ has a suite of employment contracts available for members. These templates have been developed to cover full time, part time. and casual employees, including tradespersons, apprentices, labourers, and clerical/retail employees.

In accordance with the Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award 2020, if an apprentice’s employment is terminated by the employer, the employer is required to provide the relevant notice period depending on how long they have been employed.

When engaging an apprentice, it is essential for employers to contact an Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) and it is recommended to have a signed employment contract.
