About this template
What is this template?
This is an employment agreement for local staff within a diplomatic consulate. It is not a general commercial employment contract, as it specifically excludes Israeli and Jewish holidays from overtime calculations. It contains unique provisions for terminal benefits tied to five years of service and specific notional overtime wage calculations.
When should you use it?
Use this when hiring Indian nationals to work on-site at a consulate where diplomatic holiday schedules apply. Use a standard Indian Employment Contract instead for regular commercial business operations without diplomatic status.
