Clinch Long Letherbarrow offer a range of services to employers and employees in relation to employment contracts.

Having a properly constructed employment contract can help to manage or prevent a range of future problems.

We assist employers with the drafting of employment contracts and also act for them in the event of a dispute arising with the employee. In the employment contracts and executive contracts we develop for our clients, factors we may take into account include restraint of trade provisions, confidentiality, and protection and assignment of intellectual property rights to name a few.

In the case of clients who are employees, we review and advise on the terms of an employment contract and act on the employee’s behalf if a conflict regarding the contract subsequently ensues.

Employee contracts should document a number of important aspects including:

• Names of the parties to the contract
• Contract start date
• Job title and description
• Address of workplace
• Work hours
• Details of any probationary period that applies
• Salary
• Appraisal process
• Annual and sick leave entitlements
• Superannuation provisions
• Grievance procedures
• Restraint of trade conditions
• Termination conditions

 
amongst others.
 
Clinch Long Letherbarrow are experienced in reviewing, advising on and drafting sound employment contracts that incorporate all essential details.
