Commonly asked questions on employment contracts.
Employment contracts can become very complicated and leave you with many questions, especially when there are disagreements over the terms and conditions. Therefore, our employment contract solicitors have answered some of the most commonly asked questions on the topic.
1. What is an employment contract?
An employment contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee. The contract outlines both the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
Examples of the terms and conditions of the employment contract include:
- Salary
- Working schedule
- Duration
- Responsibilities

2. Can my employer change my employment contract?
An employment contract is a legally binding agreement. Therefore, the terms and conditions of the agreement can’t be changed lawfully unless the employee has formally agreed to the change.
If your employer has changed the terms and conditions of your employment contract, make sure you seek help from an employment contract solicitor.

3. Can I refuse to sign an employment contract?
In short, yes. You can refuse to sign an employment contract if you’re not happy with the terms and conditions. When you’re unhappy with the terms and conditions, our solicitors can negotiate with your employer to ensure you’re happy that the contract is fair before you sign.
