We can expertly advise you on employment contracts suitable for all employees, from junior and casual employees, right through to your most senior executives, including CEO’s and General Managers.

Employment Contracts

We have prepared thousands of employment contracts over the years in a wide range of industries.

We can expertly advise you on how to set up employment contracts that protect your business, set clear expectations for employees and ensure that you are complying with any legislative or Award requirements.

We can provide you with employment contracts suitable for all employees, from junior and casual employees, right through to your most senior executives. 

Our job is to make contract preparation as simple as possible for our clients and, where appropriate, our contracts are set up in such a way that you can then use them as templates in future for new employees. 

We understand that businesses want to be able to set their own tone when it comes to the agreements that they reach with their employees and can prepare contracts that are tailored to different levels of employees and to the culture and values of your business.

Employment Contracts and Post Employment Restraints

Senior executive employment contracts

We have experience preparing contracts for senior executives and CEO’s across many industries, including statutory corporations and GOC’s. 

Every word really does count in a senior executive's contract. Unfortunately, some employers only find out that they have poorly drafted contracts when there is a dispute or issue with a senior executive.

We have advised on one-off senior executive contracts, right through to preparing contract templates ready for large scale rollout across numerous senior employees in cases of business acquisitions and mergers. 

Post Employment Restraints

Many employers have valuable business information and customer relationships that must be protected, particularly when it comes to senior employees who will have access to commercially sensitive and confidential information.  

Post employment restraints are complex and must be drafted correctly to ensure that they are enforceable. 

Too many employers get caught out because they have poorly drafted and ineffective restraints in their employment contracts. They only find this out when an employee leaves and they pull out that employee's contract to check the restraints. 

Our experience means that we know the potential issues that arise with restraints and can advise you how to put effective and enforceable post employment restraints in your employment contracts. 

We can also advise on the enforcement of existing employment restraints and protection of confidential information after an employee has left your business. 

In these cases it is vital that you seek advice as soon as you find out that an employee is leaving.  

We are here to take away the worry and to ensure that our clients know that we have their backs. Contact us to find out how we can assist. 

We help employers solve and prevent people issues. We are problem solvers.
