The Legal Risk Score of a Director Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document grants the board of directors considerable discretion in determining and delegating the specific powers and rights of the director, which could lead to uncertainty about the director's role and responsibilities.
- The director's obligation to devote their entire business hours to the company without entitlement to additional remuneration beyond the specified salary and superannuation could be restrictive and potentially unappealing for prospective directors who might seek more flexible or lucrative arrangements.
- The director’s entitlements to holidays and other leave are subject to the approval of the board, which may limit the director's ability to freely plan and take leave according to personal or professional needs.
