Flexible Working Contract

"I need a Flexible Working Contract for a senior software developer in Cape Town who will work remotely 4 days per week and in-office 1 day per week, starting March 1, 2025, with strong IT security and intellectual property protection clauses."

Document background

The document has become increasingly relevant following global workplace changes and reflects modern business practices while maintaining compliance with South African labor law. It is particularly suitable for employers looking to formalize flexible working arrangements, whether these involve remote work, hybrid arrangements, or flexible hours. The contract includes comprehensive provisions for work location flexibility, time management, performance monitoring, and resource allocation, while ensuring adherence to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and other relevant South African legislation.
