Hiring Contract Template

Value $75

One of the most popular requests Arts BC receives from our members is for a hiring contract template. We understand: Hiring a new team member is exciting, and it also involves ensuring that both you, the employer, and your employee are protected in your working relationship.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve partnered with human resources expert Nancy Ho who has provided a limited number of licenses for a Word version of a hiring contract template. Since hiring scenarios differ from one another and often require a bespoke approach, this template offers multiple built-in contract terms that you will be able to shape into a contract that works for each of your hiring scenarios.
