About this template
What is this template?
Set Of Interview Questions by Business Gateway is a free, ready-to-use Employment Contract template you can open, customize, and download on GitLaw. It gives you a professionally structured starting point, so you never have to draft from a blank page. The wording is plain and modern, organized into clear sections that are easy to read, edit, and adapt to your own situation before you share or sign it.
When should you use it?
Reach for this Employment Contract template whenever you need a reliable agreement quickly and want to be sure the essentials are covered. It suits individuals, freelancers, startups, and established businesses alike.

This version is drafted with General and Scotland in mind, though you should always review the final wording against the laws that apply to you.
Scotland note
This version is drafted for Scotland. Scots law differs from England & Wales on execution and on some employment procedure. Tell GitLaw where the parties are and it adjusts the draft.
