FAQs: Employment Contract Lawyers
When should I have my employment contract reviewed by a lawyer?
Ideally, before signing any new contract or when facing significant changes to existing terms. Our employment contract lawyers help if you’re experiencing issues with current contractual obligations or considering resignation with restraints in place.
Can employment contracts override the National Employment Standards?
Contracts cannot provide less than the minimum NES entitlements, however, they can offer additional benefits. We make sure that your contract meets all legal requirements.
What's the difference between an employment contract and an enterprise agreement?
Employment contracts are individual agreements between you and your employer. Enterprise agreements cover groups of employees and are negotiated collectively. Both must comply with Fair Work legislation.
