Stop rewriting the same contract.

You already know the drill. Copy last year’s contract. Find and replace the name. Hope you did not miss a clause. Send it and wait.

The Custom Template Builder ends that. Build a document once, tell it how to behave, and every version after that is fast, consistent and compliant.

Feature

HR Command template builder auto drafting an employment contract with merge fields, Fair Work stamp and a full contract template library

Works like a word processor, thinks like a lawyer

Build documents the way you already write them. Bold, headings, lists, tables, the lot. No clunky form builder, no code.

Upload your own Word document, or start from an HR Command template drafted by Cowell Clarke.

Edit live on the page, exactly as it will look when it lands.

Clauses number themselves like Word, and renumber the second you add, move or remove one.

HR Command guided form automating an Award Covered Full Time employment contract — Step 1 of 2, fill fields to generate

Fill in the blanks, automatically

Add a field once and it pulls straight from your HR Command records. No more find and replace. No more typos in someone’s name.

Standard HR Command fields are built in: employee details, company name, ABN and ACN, start dates, award and level.

Add unlimited custom fields for anything else, saved once and reused across every template.

Fields sit neatly inside the sentence, so the document still reads like it was written by a person.

Advanced conditional logic, in plain English

Set a rule once and the document builds itself around the answer. Casual or full time. Salary or hourly. Restraint or none. The right clauses appear, the wrong ones disappear, and the numbering keeps up.

Show or hide any clause based on a field, or a plain question you write yourself.

Combine rules with and or or for the tricky cases.

A hidden clause never leaves a gap. The clause after it simply takes its number

Maths done for you

Stop reaching for the calculator. Chain fields together and let the template work it out.

Bonus, termination pay, loaded casual rates and more, calculated at the moment you send.

Superannuation handled properly, inclusive or on top.

Pay the right way for the role, salaried or hourly, every time.

References that move with your numbering

Write “see clause 7.2” and mean it. If that clause moves, is renumbered, or drops out, every reference to it updates on its own. No more pointing to the wrong place after an edit.

Flags gaps like set off, casual conversion under the Employee Choice Pathway, surveillance consent, deductions and IP.

Saves into your HR Command Template area, ready for the team.

Why it beats a template pack or a basic editor

A folder of Word templates still leaves the thinking to you. A basic editor lets you type, but not much else. The Custom Template Builder does the part that actually takes time and gets people in trouble: choosing the right clauses, getting the figures right, keeping it compliant, and proving it later.

✅ Build once, reuse everywhere. Your fields and clauses are shared across every template, not trapped in one.
✅ Compliant by design. Lawyer-drafted wording, an AI contract check, and a defensible record of every send.
✅ Australian to the core. Built for the Fair Work Act, modern awards and Australian employers, not bent to fit from overseas.

Who it is for

Never feel alone with employment challenges:

✅ Business owners who are tired of paying for a lawyer every time they hire.

✅ HR and office managers who send the same documents on repeat.

✅ Bookkeepers and advisers who set up contracts for clients.

✅ Anyone who needs the document right, fast, and on the record.
