Need some expert help with employment issues? Talk to us.

Other than the agreement to purchase your family home, your employment agreement is perhaps the most significant document you will ever sign as it sets out how you will make your living – how and what you will be paid, what is expected from you and what you can expect from your employer.

The consequences of not understanding (or even worse, not reading) the terms of your employment agreement can be very severe so we highly recommend getting an expert to check that it is reasonable and actually records what you want it to.

There are a number of different options you can take when having issues with your employer and some them can actually make the situation worse, not better.

We can explain what options are open to you, given your particular circumstances, and the pros and cons of each option so that you choose the one that is best for you.

Many people believe that restraints are unenforceable and then get a very unpleasant surprise when their ex-employer sues them.

Other people stay in a job they hate because they believe, incorrectly, that they are bound by a restraint of trade.

We can review your employment agreement and any restraint provisions for you and give you advice that you can rely on as to what you can and can’t do when you resign.
