Employment contract

Typically, an employment contract marks the beginning of a good working relationship. We can inform you about the legal principles that must be observed when concluding an employment contract.

Signing a legally sound employment contract.

The job interview went well, and you already have the verbal offer for your dream job – typically, your new employer will now send you an employment contract for signature. This contract outlines the most important duties and rights in your employment relationship and should therefore be carefully reviewed. The employment contract obliges you, as an employee, to perform your work. In return, the employer is obliged to pay the agreed salary.

However, not all clauses included in employment contracts are legally valid! Experience shows that employment contracts with non-compliant wording are frequently issued, which we would be pleased to review for you. Common points of contention often arise with issues such as overtime regulations, missing notice periods, or invalid non-compete clauses.

Contact our employment law attorneys and let us review your employment contract. Once signed, it remains valid for the duration of the employment relationship and cannot be unilaterally altered.
