The agreement records the legal arrangement; it must use the current jurisdiction process and reflect the offer the parties actually accepted.

• Confirm the accommodation and agreement type.
• Retrieve the current prescribed or approved form.
• Identify required disclosures and standard terms.

Set the decision criteria, responsibilities and jurisdiction checks before the time-sensitive work begins.

Good records support clear decisions, reliable handovers and fair resolution when memories differ.

• Signed agreement and attachments
• Required information statements
