Employment Contract Review In Singapore By An Employment Lawyer

Review Your Employment Contract With An Employment Lawyer

If you’re unsure about the terms of your employment contract, have a professional review it. An employment contract review specialist in Singapore can help ensure that your contract is clear, fair, and compliant with local laws. Whether you’re concerned about salary, benefits, working hours, or restrictive clauses like non-competes, a thorough review will safeguard your rights and highlight any potential issues before you sign.

Why Hire an Employment Contract Review Specialist

Employment contracts often include legal jargon and terms that may not be immediately clear. A contract review specialist helps you understand what you’re agreeing to and ensures that every clause aligns with your interests. A specialist will break down complex sections in your contract and provide clarity, ensuring you’re not agreeing to unfair terms or overlooking critical details that could affect you in the future.

Key Areas Reviewed

When reviewing an employment contract, our employment lawyers will focus on several important aspects:

• Salary and Benefits: Ensure the compensation package is clearly stated, including any bonuses, allowances, and benefits such as health coverage or retirement plans.
• Working Hours and Overtime: Verify that the working hours comply with Singapore’s employment regulations and that overtime pay is clearly defined, if applicable.
• Leave Entitlements: Check that the contract specifies annual leave, sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and any other leave entitlements according to the law.
• Termination Clauses: Review termination terms, notice periods, and whether they meet the minimum legal requirements. Ensure there are no unreasonable restrictions in place.
• Non-Compete and Confidentiality Clauses: Evaluate restrictive covenants like non-compete clauses or confidentiality agreements to confirm they are reasonable and enforceable.

Negotiation Assistance For Your Employment Contract

If there are terms in your contract that need adjustment, our employment lawyers can provide guidance on how to negotiate. We can also assist in revising or removing overly restrictive clauses like non-compete agreements, ensuring the contract is fair and balanced.
