A properly drafted employment contract is essential to clarify employment entitlements and maximise legal protection. Careful consideration must be given to the interaction between the employment entitlements of the National Employment Standards (NES) under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and any modern award and/or enterprise agreement. Other considerations include the use of fixed term contracts, the ability to set-off wage claims and the protection of business interests such as confidentiality, intellectual property and, where applicable, a restraint of trade (non-compete).
