Employment agreements

When renegotiating employment agreements, any reference to each form of leave in the agreement (such as domestic leave, special leave or family leave) should maintain the minimum bereavement leave entitlement while also reflecting any special arrangements.

Be sure that any negotiated changes are in writing, as “custom and practice” may not be sufficient if there is a dispute. The Employment Agreement Builder can help put together a draft employment agreement.
