What is included in an Employment Contract?
Duties & Responsibilities
The employee's tasks and obligations must be clearly outlined in the employment contract. Furthermore, stipulations should be included, barring the employee from taking on other work throughout this employment contract.
Working Hours & Days
The employee's typical working hours and days must be specified in the appointment letter or employment contract. Also, include the terms for over-time payment. The Shops and Establishment Act governs working hours.
​
Salary & Wages
In an employment contract, the remuneration to be given to the employee must be explicitly stated. If relevant, terms for a salary increase, additional incentives, or an ESOP might also be specified.
​
Bonus
If the firm has a bonus policy, it must be spelled out in the employment contract. The bonus policy must also specify who is eligible for a bonus and the award amount.
​
Leave Policy
All employment contracts should include the employer's leave policy and the employee's right to depart with full pay or half pay. Earned leave, casual leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, and sick leave are all stated in the contract. Many firms grant ten days of accumulated leaves and 12 days of unpaid leaves per year in India.
Termination of Employment
