Questions people ask
-
Can't I just use a free Word template I found online?
You can, but a downloaded template can hide underpayment risks or clauses written for laws that have since changed. Contractam gives you the ease of a template with a draft that is generated for your business and checked against current Australian law.
-
What if I need to make changes?
You won't be editing a fixed template. Our AI generates a unique contract tailored to your business, so the clauses change with your answers — and you can still export it as an editable Word file and adjust anything you like.
-
How do I know it's legal?
Our AI analyses and explains every clause to you in plain English, so you can see what each one does and why it's there before you send it. The pay rates and entitlements are checked against current Modern Awards and Australian legislation.
-
Does this cover my specific Australian state?
Yes. The generated template adapts automatically based on whether your employee is in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, or any other state or territory.
-
What if I don't know which Award applies?
That's the part most employers get wrong, so we don't ask you to guess. Describe the role and the industry, and the right Modern Award is identified for you, with its current pay rates built into the contract.
-
How long does it take?
Most people finish in under ten minutes and download the contract straight away as a PDF or Word file.
