Common risks with Employment Contracts
Unclear Termination Terms
Ambiguous or unfair termination clauses can lead to job insecurity, including vague grounds for dismissal, lack of severance pay, or excessive notice periods.
Intellectual Property (IP) Ownership
Some contracts include broad IP assignment clauses, where the employer claims ownership over all creations made by the employee, even outside of work hours or unrelated to their job role.
