The Legal Risk Score of a Part Time Employment Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The employer retains the discretion to change the employee's role, duties, and reporting lines, which could lead to unexpected shifts in job expectations and responsibilities.
- The document specifies that the employer's policies are binding but clarifies that these policies do not form part of the employment contract, potentially leading to confusion or misunderstandings about the enforceability of such policies.
- Intellectual property generated during employment is owned by the employer, which might restrict the employee's rights to any creations or innovations developed during their tenure.
