These terms are essential for every Fixed-time Employment contract, and they will help you to provide a safe workplace for your employees.
An employment agreement allows an employer to hire an employee. An employment contract specifies the rights and obligations of the employer and the employee. An employment contract will specify key information such as the employee's role, salary, work location, hours and holidays.
A fixed-term employee is entitled to most of the same employment rights as a full-time employee such as pension but will have a fixed term contract. A fixed-term employee can be full-time or part-time.
A software developer builds software applications using code. Software developers are usually specialised by coding language and the types of projects they work on. For example, a software developer might work on front-end projects or back-end projects which each have their specific languages. A software developer is known as a full-stack developer if they can work on both types of projects.
Employment contracts for software developers usually have additional provisions on intellectual property.
Legislate's employment contract contains provisions specific to software developers including language around the use of open-source software libraries during the course of employment. This is important because certain open-source libraries require the disclosure of the software application's source code which can breach the employee's confidentiality provisions.
