In 2025, if you are a labour hire business, you’ll need a Labour Hire Agreement. This legally binding document ensures that your business and the client organisations align on pay rates, responsibilities and workplace obligations in today’s dynamic environment.
In a labour hire business, you provide skilled staff to other companies on-demand while remaining their direct employer. You are responsible for paying your employees and complying with the latest Fair Work and Workplace Health & Safety regulations. For more insight into your employer obligations, have a look at our Employment Contracts guide.
Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, your relationship with your staff continues even after they’re placed at a client’s workplace. This enduring connection means you maintain ongoing responsibilities for their health, safety and remuneration, making it critical that your Labour Hire Agreement clearly outlines these obligations.
What Is A Labour Hire Agreement?
A Labour Hire Agreement is a crucial contract that confirms the pay rates, rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. It addresses key issues such as liability, dispute resolution and indemnification, ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.
This Agreement essentially forms the contract between you and the businesses interested in ‘hiring’ your staff on-demand. In today’s fast-paced business landscape, having a robust Labour Hire Agreement is more important than ever to safeguard your interests and meet the 2025 regulatory standards.
In 2025, with evolving workplace regulations and ongoing updates to Fair Work standards, it is essential to periodically review your Labour Hire Agreement. Staying current not only ensures compliance with recent legislative changes but also minimises risks associated with miscommunication and potential liabilities. For personalised advice, consider exploring our Contract Drafting services, which can tailor agreements to meet the specific needs of your business.
