The Legal Risk Score of a Apprenticeship Agreement Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • The agreement will comply with employment legislation as long as the template is adhered to.
  • The agreement is simple to sign.
  • The employee is required to complete specific apprenticeship documentation and gain approval from relevant authorities, which introduces a dependency on external administrative processes that could affect the commencement and continuity of their employment.
