Hello!
Compliance Audit
The Ultimate Checklist to Protect Your Business (and Sanity!)
Employment Contracts:
BY Norelle Pratt
June 2024
Raise your hand if employment contracts have ever left you feeling a bit overwhelmed. 🙋♀️ Don't worry, you're not alone. These legally binding documents can feel like a minefield, but they don't have to be.
The Perils of Poor Contracts
I've seen it all: businesses struggling to enforce basic rules around uniforms and hours, facing unexpected claims of underpayment, or even losing valuable clients to former employees. These situations are not only stressful, but they can also cost you serious time and money

Why Fuss Over Contracts?
Here's the deal: a well-drafted employment contract is your secret weapon to:
- Reduce misunderstandings: Get everything in writing to avoid the "he said, she said" drama and ensure everyone is on the same page from day one.
- Clarify expectations: Spell out roles, responsibilities, dress codes, communication standards – everything! – so there are no surprises down the line.
- Protect your rights: Clearly outline employee entitlements (salary, leave, etc.) and make sure you're complying with all relevant awards and regulations.
- Prepare for the unexpected: Include probationary periods and termination terms to safeguard your business if things don't work out.
- Safeguard your assets: Confidentiality, non-disclosure, intellectual property – protect your business from competitors and disgruntled employees.
