Two systems of employment law operate for the private sector in Western Australia, the state industrial relations system and the national fair work system.

The state system covers the following businesses:

• Private sector businesses and their employers that operate as:
• Sole traders
• Unincorporated partnerships
• Unincorporated trust arrangements, where none of the trustees or other entities in the trust arrangement are Pty Ltd entities.

You can use the following templates to assist you to prepare a contract for employees in the State system who are subject to a Western Australian Award.
