contract on the basis of employee age.

time, subject to contractual obligations

such as notice periods.

Employers should include in their contracts
performance metrics compatible with

Performance metrics should be reviewed on
a regular basis,

at intervals of no less than three months.

Reviews should qualify employees for
enhancement of contract as well as diminution.

require performance metrics to be met.

a Community Service task which employers can

mostly about physical health and

forms part of your medical history.
