Your employment conditions under the microscope
Our specialists check the content of your contract. They check, among other things, whether:
- the contract is in accordance with the law;
- your salary, holidays, pension and sick leave scheme are clear;
- it does not contain any provisions that are unfavorable to you, such as an overly strict non-competition clause.
You will hear as soon as possible what we think of the contract, and what you can do best: put your signature, or negotiate with your future employer first. In the latter case, we will of course advise you on how to handle such a conversation conveniently.
Non-competition clause
This is a provision stating which rules you must adhere to when you change jobs. Consider the period after your employment in which you are not allowed to work for a competitor or when you are not immediately allowed to perform the same work at another company. If you do this, you may be fined by your (former) employer.
Sometimes the non-competition clause rules are too strict and limit your options on the labor market. Curious what the non-competition clause means in your case? Our experts are happy to check it for you.
