risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Employment Agreement (Casual) Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • The document allows the employer to unilaterally change the nature of the employee's role, duties, and reporting lines, which could lead to unexpected job responsibilities or a shift in career trajectory.
  • The document specifies that the employer's policies are binding but clarifies that these policies do not form part of the employment contract, which might lead to confusion or misunderstandings about the enforceability of such policies.
  • Employment legislation closely regulates casual work and there are penalties to using casual employment to deny an employee the entitlements they would have from full-time work.
