Understanding Your Employment Agreement
An employment agreement forms the legal foundation of the working relationship between an employer and employee, and it is governed by both common law contract principles and the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). Terms relating to remuneration, hours, termination, and post-employment restraints must not be under the minimum entitlements set out in the applicable workplace award or the National Employment Standards. Obtaining employment contract legal advice before signing, varying, or enforcing an agreement helps ensure your rights and obligations are properly understood and protected.
Reviewing and Negotiating Employment Agreements
An employment agreement review is not limited to new hires. Executives, senior employees, and business owners frequently seek an employment agreement lawyer when renegotiating terms, responding to a proposed variation, or assessing whether a restraint of trade clause is enforceable. We also act for employers seeking an employment contract attorney to draft agreements that protect commercial interests while remaining compliant and enforceable.
