Employment Review

AI Employment Contract Review: Protect Your Team and Your Business

Employment contracts are often written to favour one party heavily. Whether you're an employer drafting contracts or a professional reviewing what you're being asked to sign, you need to know what you're agreeing to. These contracts set the terms for years of your working life.

What We Check

What the AI checks in employment contracts

Non-compete clauses

How restrictive? How long? Overly aggressive non-competes are often unenforceable but still create legal uncertainty. The AI checks scope, duration, and geographic reach.

IP assignment

What IP does the employer own? Code on company time? Probably. Code on weekends on your own hardware? Many contracts try to claim it. The AI flags overly broad IP clauses.

Notice periods

Imbalance signals a one-sided contract. If you need to give 30 days, the employer should too.

Garden leave

Is it paid? How long? Garden leave can range from reasonable (two weeks paid) to draconian (three months unpaid while you're blocked from working).

Restrictive covenants

Non-solicitation, non-dealing — sometimes reasonable, but they deserve careful review.

Termination clauses

Can the employer terminate at will? What counts as cause? What severance do you get?

Red Flags

Common employment contract red flags

Non-competes exceeding 12 months — often unenforceable and always restrictive. A two-year non-compete essentially requires a career change
Overly broad IP assignment — "All work created during employment, whether or not on Company time." Reaches into personal projects and side work
Unclear IP carve-outs — no mechanism to document pre-existing IP. Setup for future disputes
One-sided termination — employer terminates at will; employee needs three months' notice and loses benefits immediately
Missing garden leave payment — garden leave clause doesn't specify whether you're paid. Deliberately vague
