Service Agreements and Contracts

Issue and sign staff contracts.

Build a staff contract template with variables and pay-level line items, generate a PDF for each staff member, and send it for electronic signature.

Overview

Staff Contracts let you build a reusable contract template, auto-fill staff and pay-level detail, generate a PDF, and send it to the staff member for electronic signature.

Signed contracts are stored against the staff record so you keep the version that was agreed.

Before you begin

  • Set up the staff profile, employment details, and pay level first.
  • Have your contract wording and pay-level line items ready.
  • Review the contract wording with your own advisers; BondiByte provides the builder, not legal or industrial-relations advice.

Recommended setup order

  1. Open Staff Contracts and go to the contract template settings.
  2. Edit the rich-text template, add your logo, and insert staff and pay-level variables.
  3. Save a draft, preview a sample, then publish the template version.
  4. Generate a contract for a staff member and review the PDF.
  5. Send it for electronic signature.
  6. Confirm the signed contract is stored against the staff record.

Key fields and settings

Contract template

The reusable staff contract document with rich text, your logo, and variables.

Pay-level line item

A pay-level or rate line included in the contract for the staff member.

Variable

An auto-inserted value such as staff name, role, start date, or pay-level detail.

Snapshot

The fixed copy stored when a contract is signed, so the agreed version never changes.

Best practice

  • Confirm the staff member's pay level before generating the contract.
  • Review each generated PDF before sending it for signature.
  • Keep one published template version and update it deliberately.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Generating a contract before the staff pay level and employment context are set.
  • Relying on default wording without your own review.
  • Expecting already-signed contracts to change when you edit the template.
