Contractual issues

Employment contracts describe the terms and conditions of the working relationship between individual employers and employees. Since these contracts are enforceable by law, it’s wise to ensure they are equitable from the outset.

An unfair contract is one that is harsh, unjust or against the public interest, or that is designed to thwart the operation of an industrial agreement (such as an Award or Enterprise Bargaining Agreement). A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfil their obligations under the contract or makes it impossible for the other party to fulfil theirs.
