The Hourly Fee Agreement is designed for use in South African business contexts where services are provided on an hourly rate basis. This document is essential when engaging employees or contractors for project-based work, consulting services, or temporary assignments where time-based billing is preferred. It incorporates requirements from South African labor legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Labour Relations Act, and relevant tax regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for time tracking, billing procedures, service scope, and performance expectations. It's particularly useful for professional services, consulting arrangements, and specialized project work where flexibility in working hours and clear compensation structures are needed.
