Employment agreements

Employment agreements have the terms and conditions of employment. Every employee must have a written employment agreement.

  • Creating an employment agreement

    You must give every employee a written employment agreement, making it clear what is expected from them and what they’re entitled to while working for you.

  • Collective and individual employment agreements

    A potential employer must give you either a collective employment agreement or an individual employment agreement.

  • Negotiating and accepting as an employee

    Your employer must give you a written employment agreement. You can negotiate additional terms and conditions in the agreement with your employer. Even if they are not written in the agreement – you are still entitled to the minimum employment rights set in the law.

  • Offering and negotiating as an employer

    You should be open to negotiating terms in the employment agreement if an employee requests changes.

  • Restraint of trade

    You can only enforce a restraint of trade if there is a valid restraint of trade clause in the employee’s employment agreement.
