When you hire a part-time employee, you need to come to an agreement with them about a regular pattern of work. This agreement must be in writing and include:
- the number of hours to be worked each day
- the specific days of the week the employee will work
- the actual starting and finishing times for each day.
To assist you, there is a template part-time hours of work agreement/variation form available below as well as a template letter of engagement.
