When you land a new job or are about to start working, one thing many people often overlook is “checking the employment contract.” Rushing or trusting too much can sometimes lead to serious problems later on—such as not receiving the agreed salary or facing unfair termination clauses. This article will guide you through the important points with a Checklist for reviewing your employment contract before signing.

1. Clear Job Title The contract should clearly specify the position you are hired for, such as “Account Officer” or “Digital Marketing Specialist.” This prevents job duties from being shifted to unrelated roles later on. If You agreed to work as a Graphic Designer, but since the contract didn’t state the position, the company easily reassigned you to unrelated tasks.
2.  Salary and Payment Date The employment contract must state the exact salary in numbers, along with the payment method (e.g., bank transfer) and the date you will be paid, such as the 25th of every month. If the contract does not specify a payment date, the company may delay or even skip payments without consequence.
3. Working Hours and Days Off The contract should specify your daily working hours, weekly days off, and public holidays you are entitled to.
   Example:“Work from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, with Saturdays and Sundays off.” This ensures clarity and prevents disputes.
4. Termination Conditions This section is extremely important. The contract should clearly state the termination procedure, such as a 30-day notice period or severance pay according to labor laws. If termination terms are not clearly stated, the company could dismiss you immediately without providing compensation.

Why Should You Check an Employment Contract?

• To protect your rights as an employee

• To reduce the risk of being exploited

• To serve as legal proof in case of disputes

• To give you confidence when working with the company

Key Reminder : Reviewing your employment contract is the first step in protecting your rights. Don’t rush into signing just because you’re eager to start the job. Check every detail carefully—because even a small oversight can turn into a major issue later. Every single word in the contract represents your rights. If anything is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask HR or seek advice from a labor lawyer.
