Contract inclusions
Is your current contract suitable?
A generic contract template, that you often find on other websites, may not be suitable for your staff. There are specific issues that will be relevant to your industry.
When you set up a contract through MyJobContracts, we will suggest clauses that we think are suitable to the role. It's then easy to customise the contract.
Ultimately, the employment contract should accurately reflect the mutual expectations of the employer and employee, to ensure that there are no potential misunderstandings or disputes in the future.
Some of the issues we cover include:
Confidentiality
Ensure that the employment contract sets clear guidelines about the staff member's confidentiality obligations to reduce any risk of future disagreements.
IP ownership
Your staff may be creating intellectual property as part of their employment. You should ensure that there are no disagreements about who the rightful owner of the IP is.
Non-compete
Whilst sometimes difficult to enforce, make sure that the employment contract contains a strong non-compete clause to restrict competitive behaviour by relevant ex-employees.
Non-solicitation
Protect your agency by preventing ex-employees from poaching your existing staff or enticing them to leave. This is an important industry issue that you should be on top of.
