Driver Employment Agreement
Driver Employment Agreement — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Bangladesh's SME employers, freelance clients, domestic households and factories all use employment agreements — a written appointment letter or a full employment contract — to fix salary, working hours, leave, notice periods, confidentiality, and the grounds and consequences of termination. A written contract turns the classic 'we agreed' disputes over unpaid salary, wrongful termination, or overreaching non-compete clauses into questions that can be settled on paper rather than at the labour tribunal. Whether it is a permanent staff appointment, a fixed-term consultant engagement, a freelance / gig contract, a domestic-worker arrangement, or a security-guard / driver contract, getting the essentials in writing at the start is what protects both sides later.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a digital agreement on ChuktiQ legally valid in Bangladesh?
- Yes — Sections 6 and 7 of the ICT Act, 2006 give electronic records and OTP-verified electronic signatures the same legal recognition as their paper equivalents. Two important exceptions apply: (a) documents that a specific statute requires to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper or registered — such as land sale / transfer deeds under the Registration Act — still need that stamp / registration in addition to the digital record; and (b) family-law instruments (marriage, divorce, will) follow their own governing statutes. Where either exception applies to your specific agreement, ChuktiQ shows a clear notice on that page.
- What stamp duty and registration apply to this type of agreement?
- That depends on the specific instrument type and, for many instruments, the amount involved — the Stamp Act, 1899 and the Registration Act, 1908 supply the rules. Most ordinary private contracts (loan notes, service agreements, MOUs, NDAs, general contracts) run on Tk. 300 non-judicial stamp with no registration. Certain instrument types have higher requirements — partnership deeds, sale or purchase of immovable property, leases longer than one year, gift deeds, powers of attorney used for property transfer, and others. Before executing this specific agreement, confirm the correct stamp denomination and any registration formality with a lawyer, especially if any significant value or long-term commitment is involved.
