The Legal Risk Score of a Full Time Employment Agreement Template is Low

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

  • The document allows the employer to unilaterally change the nature of the employee's role, duties, and reporting lines, which could lead to unexpected job responsibilities or a shift in career trajectory.
  • The document specifies that the employer's policies are binding but clarifies that these policies do not form part of the employment contract, which might lead to confusion or misunderstandings about the enforceability of such policies.
  • The confidentiality clause restricts the employee from sharing any confidential information without prior written consent, potentially limiting the employee's future employment opportunities or professional discussions.
