| Contract Terms | Description |
|---|---|
Express Terms |
These are written or explicitly agreed-upon terms, including job title, salary, work location, and policies. Even if there’s no written contract, agreements made through emails, messages, or conversations may be considered. |
Implied Terms |
Some contract terms are assumed by law, such as reasonable notice for termination if not specified in the contract. |
Contract Changes |
Employers may have the right to make some changes, but major changes require agreement from both parties. Unapproved changes could lead to contract disputes. |
Contract Termination |
A contract can end in various ways, including resignation, dismissal, or contract expiration. If no notice period is specified, the law may require “reasonable notice” based on factors like job seniority and length of service. |
Payment in Lieu of Notice & Gardening Leave |
Employers may offer payment instead of requiring employees to work through their notice period or place them on gardening leave (where they remain employed but don’t work). |
Restraint of Trade Clauses |
Some contracts include restrictions after you leave a job, such as:
These clauses must be reasonable to be enforceable. If they are too restrictive, courts may adjust or remove them. |
Executive Perks |
High-level employees may receive bonuses, stock options, relocation assistance, and travel allowances. |
Employee vs. Contractor Status |
Your actual work conditions, not just the contract wording, determine whether you’re an employee or an independent contractor. |
Casual Employees |
If you’ve worked for six months (or a year) in a small business, you may be eligible for a permanent role. |
Fixed-Term Contracts |
Usually, these cannot exceed two years or be repeatedly renewed. |
Pay Transparency |
Employees have the legal right to discuss their pay, even after leaving a job, despite any contract clauses suggesting otherwise. |
Employment laws are complex, and contracts can have hidden risks. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, negotiate better terms, and avoid issues that could affect your job security or future opportunities.
Who Can Benefit from an Employment Contract Review?

- You are negotiating a promotion, salary increase, or new responsibilities.
- You are considering leaving your current job and need to understand termination clauses.
- You have concerns about unfair, unclear, or confusing contract terms.
- Your employer has made changes to your contract.
