Deciding whether to sign an employment contract can be one of the most important decisions a person will ever make. Some people barely read the contract before they sign, let alone seek legal advice on a document that pertains to the vast majority of their waking hours. There are far too many aspects of employment contracts and policies that could come to haunt either employer or employee to risk signing a document ‘in good faith’.
