Fashion Brand Employment Contract Generator

This Employment Contract is between the Employer, a fashion brand designing, producing, and selling clothing, accessories, and related products through retail, wholesale, and direct-to-consumer channels, and the Employee. The brand operates across design, production, marketing, and retail functions, employing designers, pattern cutters, merchandisers, brand managers, and retail associates.

Employment is permanent from the Start Date under applicable employment law. This contract constitutes the full agreement between the parties.

Fashion industry work follows seasonal collection calendars, with intense periods around design development, production deadlines, fashion weeks, and wholesale buying appointments. The Employee accepts this cyclical rhythm and the creative demands of the industry.

A three-month probationary period applies. For design roles, the Employer evaluates creative output, trend research quality, CAD or illustration proficiency, and alignment with the brand's aesthetic direction. For commercial roles, assessment covers sales performance, wholesale account management, and understanding of the brand's market positioning.

Statutory notice applies during probation. A review at six weeks covers the Employee's contribution to the current season's collection, collaboration with the production and marketing teams, and alignment with the brand's values around sustainability, inclusivity, or luxury positioning as applicable.

Permanent employment follows successful probation. Extension may apply if the Employee has not yet participated in a full collection development cycle from concept through to delivery.
