MOM's KETs checklist covers role and duties, start date, working arrangements and pay components. Overtime, leave and notice terms belong in the document where applicable.
Check three groups of information
Working arrangements: daily hours, days per week and the rest day.
Pay: basic salary, fixed allowances, deductions and applicable overtime arrangements, rather than only a single total.
Joining and leaving: check probation, leave and notice provisions against the other employee documents.
Turn the document into a working record
An onboarding checklist can connect the signed terms with the employee register, roster and payroll. Flag inconsistent fields for review and retain the signed version alongside changes.
A practical next step
Compare one existing agreement with MOM's checklist. Mark each item as recorded, not applicable or requiring confirmation before reusing it for another role.
