EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

1. Parties

This Employment Contract is made between [Employer name] (UEN: [UEN]), of [Employer address] ("the Employer"), and [Employee name] (NRIC/FIN No. [ID number]) ("the Employee").

2. Job Title and Duties

The Employee is appointed as [Job title]. The Employee's main duties and responsibilities are: [Main duties]

3. Commencement and Duration

This is a permanent position commencing on 2026-07-11.

Place of work: [Place of work].

4. Working Hours and Rest Day

The Employee will work 5 days per week, 8 hours per day, with Sunday as the designated rest day.

This role is covered by Part IV of the Employment Act (hours of work, overtime, and rest days), as the Employee's basic salary falls at or below the applicable Part IV threshold.

5. Salary

Basic salary: S$0.00 per monthly, payable within 7 days after the end of each salary period.

Overtime: paid at S$0.00 per hour (1.5x the hourly basic rate of S$0.00), for work beyond the statutory daily/weekly limits, subject to the monthly overtime cap under the Employment Act.

CPF contributions will be made by both the Employer and Employee in accordance with the CPF Act and the prevailing CPF contribution rates in force at the time of payment.

6. Leave

Annual leave: 7 days per year (Employment Act minimum for a new hire is 7 days in the first year, rising by 1 day per year of service up to 14 days from the eighth year onward). Annual leave accrues after 3 months of service.

Sick leave: up to 14 days' paid outpatient sick leave and up to 60 days' paid hospitalisation leave per year (inclusive of outpatient days), pro-rated for the first 6 months of service, in accordance with the Employment Act.

Public holidays: the Employee is entitled to all gazetted public holidays, or a substitute day/compensation where required to work, in accordance with the Employment Act.

Maternity, paternity, and childcare leave: as provided under the Employment Act and the Child Development Co-Savings Act, where the Employee meets the relevant eligibility criteria.

7. Probation and Notice of Termination

The Employee will serve a probation period of 3 month(s) from the start date. During probation, either party may terminate this Contract by giving 7 days' written notice, or payment in lieu of notice.

After successful completion of probation, either party may terminate this Contract by giving 1 month written notice, or payment in lieu of notice. Under the Employment Act, if a contract doesn't state a notice period the default is: under 26 weeks' service = 1 day, 26 weeks to 2 years = 1 week, 2 to 5 years = 2 weeks, 5+ years = 4 weeks. Most contracts state one flat period instead (commonly 1 week to 1 month) rather than relying on this sliding scale.

8. Confidentiality

The Employee agrees not to disclose or use, during or after employment, any confidential business, technical, financial, or customer information belonging to the Employer, except as required to perform their duties or as required by law.

9. Intellectual Property

Any work product, invention, design, or other intellectual property created by the Employee in the course of employment and relating to the Employer's business shall belong to the Employer, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10. Governing Law

This Contract is governed by the laws of Singapore, including the Employment Act.
