Employment Agreements
We offer an employment contract review service, for employees, at a minimal cost. The cost is $250 for a review and report to you by email or by telephone or by Skype.
All employees must have a employment contract. The employer must give you the opportunity to seek advice on the proposed agreement.
We often find problems with employment agreements. Problems come in all shapes and sizes and include lengthy and unfair restraint of trade clauses (these could prevent you having an income for months after you finish with that employer regardless of whether you resign or are terminated), unfair redundancy compensation, the employment agreement being unfairly one sided in favour of the employer, the agreement not actually recording what you thought you were being offered, and inconsistencies in the agreement that make it unworkable for both parties.
In our experience, if the agreement is brought to us when you have been offered a new job or new agreement, most employers will be happy to accommodate any reasonable suggestions for change. Even if nothing needs to be changed (and this would be unusual) you will have the peace of mind of knowing that you are protected, both now and if things change in the future. Please contact us if we can help.
