Frequently asked questions
What are the essential clauses of an employment contract?
The contract must mention the nature of the position, remuneration, working hours, probation period, and any mobility or non-compete clauses. A lawyer can draft them tailored to your needs.
Can I draft an employment contract myself?
Yes, but the risk of error is high. A poorly drafted contract may be reclassified or contested. The firm guarantees drafting in compliance with labor law.
What are the deadlines to modify an employment contract?
Any substantial modification requires the employee's agreement. In case of refusal, the employer may dismiss for economic or disciplinary reasons depending on the case.
What to do if an employee refuses to sign their contract?
The contract must be signed before hiring. If the employee refuses, the employer may renounce the hire. The firm can advise you on alternatives.
How much does drafting an employment contract by a lawyer cost?
Fees vary depending on complexity. Expect between €300 and €600 incl. VAT for a standard contract. A free quote can be provided.
