The contract may have different conditions to those in the BCEA, as long as they are more favourable to the employee than the BCEA. The BCEA sets out the minimum conditions of employment. Any contract of employment must at least comply with all its provisions. If a contract breaks any part of the BCEA, (and a variation order has not been obtained from the Department of Labour), it is not enforceable and the BCEA conditions override the conditions in the contract.
