3 Mistakes Business Owners Make When Drafting an Employment Contract

The employment contract is perhaps one of the most important documents you will have in your company. Going the extra mile in ensuring that the contract is well-written is important in order to avoid litigation issues that can hurt your business later on. 

 
Make sure you avoid the following mistakes when drafting your employment contract:

1. Not consulting North Vancouver employment lawyers.
There are many ways Employment Lawyers in North Vancouver such as Lakes, Whyte LLP will help you out. They will be able to go over your contract and identify clauses that might violate employee and human rights. An employment lawyer will also be able to suggest adding clauses that can protect your business.

2. Drafting an employment contract without understanding employment laws.
Your employment contract will be rendered invalid if there are clauses that do not comply with employment laws. This is where an employment lawyer will be able to help you out.

3. Using the same contract for all employees.
If you have different types of employees such as permanent, temporary, part-time and fixed-term employees, you should have a different contract made for each type. A generic contract might not cover all the bases when it comes to employment terms, which is unique for each type of employee.

If you have a solid employment contract, it also creates a good relationship between your company and your employees. You will be able to elicit loyalty and cooperation from them. It also establishes boundaries as well as allows employees to identify their specific roles in the company.
