Employment Contracts

Is your employer changing your contract or working arrangements?

Many disputes turn on what the contract says — or on changes an employer is trying to impose. Understanding your terms, including notice, restrictive covenants and variation clauses, is often the starting point.

Typical situations

  • Your employer is changing your hours, location or pay.
  • You are unsure whether you are an employee, worker or self-employed.
  • You are concerned about post-termination restrictions.

Practical first steps

  • Locate your written contract, offer letter and any later variations.
  • Do not sign new terms under pressure without advice.
  • Record any objections in writing.
