Document background
The Seasonal Employment Agreement is designed for Australian businesses that require workers for specific seasonal periods or peak operational times throughout the year. This contract type is particularly relevant for industries such as agriculture, tourism, and retail that experience predictable busy periods requiring additional workforce. The agreement complies with Australian employment legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009 and relevant modern awards, while addressing the temporary nature of seasonal employment. It includes essential provisions for employment terms, working conditions, remuneration, and entitlements, making it suitable for both domestic and international seasonal workers (where visa requirements permit). The document is structured to protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring clarity about the fixed-term nature of the employment relationship and any specific seasonal conditions or requirements.
