Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an offer letter and an employment contract?+

An offer letter summarises the role and pay to extend a job; an employment contract is the detailed legal agreement governing the full relationship — duties, IP, confidentiality, termination and governing law.

What clauses should an employment contract have?+

Core clauses include position and duties, commencement and probation, compensation, working hours, leave, confidentiality, termination and notice, and governing law. Sensitive roles may add IP assignment and restrictive covenants.

Is this a substitute for legal advice?+

No. It is a convenience template to speed up drafting. Employment law varies by country and state, so have a qualified attorney review the final document before use.
