Are you looking to engage a new employee?

Here are six key clauses to include in your employment agreement (in addition to the standard position description and specific pay clauses).

1.  Confidentiality

2.  Restraint of Trade

3.  Award Coverage

4.  Off-set Clause

5.  Warranties

6.  Probationary Period

By putting a strong employment contract in place, you're safeguarding your business from risk as well as laying out clear expectations and standards for employees. While it may be tempting to just scribble down some essential information on a piece of paper and call it a day, putting time into creating a solid contract alongside a HR or legal expert is time worth investing.
