Employment Contracts Made Simple: Essential clauses & Reasonable Limits

Join us for this 40-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A session on the topic of Employment Contracts Made Simple: Essential clauses & Reasonable Limits.

This 60‑minute webinar will give employees and employers a clear understanding of what makes an employment contract both compliant and commercially sensible. Citation’s expert Annabel will break down the essential elements every contract must contain — from Award compliance and minimum entitlements to the clauses that protect you day‑to‑day.

You’ll learn how to distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable terms, using real‑world examples such as appropriate notice periods. The session will also explore common pitfalls, outdated clauses that create risk, and the must‑have provisions that help you stay aligned with workplace laws.

By the end, attendees will walk away with the confidence to review, update, or create employment contracts that are fair, enforceable, and fit for purpose.

What we will cover:

1. Understand the essential components every employment contract must include
2. Identify what constitutes reasonable versus unreasonable contract terms
3. Gain the confidence to understand workplace laws and best‑practice standards
