Document background
The Individual Employment Contract is a fundamental document required when establishing an employer-employee relationship in Singapore. It serves as the primary reference point for both parties, detailing their respective rights and obligations. This contract must comply with Singapore's Employment Act and related legislation, including provisions for CPF contributions, work injury compensation, and statutory benefits. It's particularly important as it provides legal protection for both parties and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting employment terms, conditions, and expectations. The document should be prepared before the commencement of employment and updated as necessary to reflect any changes in employment terms.
