The Legal Risk Score of a Internship Agreement Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The internship is unpaid and does not guarantee any future employment, which could limit the intern's financial benefits and career progression opportunities.
- All intellectual property developed during the internship automatically belongs to the company, potentially restricting the intern's rights to their own creative outputs.
- The employer should ensure that the internship complies with Fair Work legislation and guidance so as to not be considered an employee.
