Employment contracts often contain disadvantageous clauses!

Jun 2, 20192 min read

An examination of the employment contract by an experienced lawyer often reveals that many employment contracts contain provisions that place a heavy burden on the employee and in some cases even gag them.

A review of the employment contract includes the following important points, among others:

  • Is the job description correct
  • the employee can be "transferred" to another position or to another location
  • there is a clear regulation for the compensation of overtime
  • there is a non-competition clause
  • there is a fair regulation on secondary employment
  • no inadmissible contractual penalties are agreed

what you should not forget

The employment contract should be reviewed by an experienced lawyer in employment law. Because only he has the experience and knowledge of what is usual in practice and how the courts would judge individual clauses. Example: Many employment contracts contain contractual penalty clauses if the employment relationship is not commenced or is terminated unlawfully. These provisions can often be mitigated with a simple amendment to the contract.

For whom is this an option?

A legal review of the employment contract is recommended for every employment relationship. This is because errors in the contract can lead to considerable disadvantages if the contractual relationship ends or if the employment contract is ever taken to court against the employer. You should therefore protect yourself legally by checking your employment contract.
