Reviewing employment contracts or director’s service contracts
Are you signing a new employment contract or changing an existing one? If there is a term in the contract that you don’t understand, go over the contract with the union’s employment lawyer before committing. The goal is simple: you understand what you are agreeing to.
A good start to the employment relationship
Go over the employment contract with a lawyer in plain language.
Certainty and clarity
You know what to accept and what to ask to be changed.
Security and advice
You get peace of mind and avoid surprises later by identifying risks and reading the small print.
“I will never sign an employment contract again without the union’s lawyers.”
