Recommendations concerning Work Contracts
Articles which must absolutely be in the contract Articles which should never appear in any working contract
In any working contract proposed to you (whatever the duration or location) be sure that the following articles or references appear very clearly:
In any working contract proposed to you (whatever the duration or location) be sure that the following articles or references NEVER appear:
  • "The Consultant commits himself not to work for clients of the Company except within the framework of the herewith agreed projects. He will not work directly or indirectly, independently or employed for clients of the Company.... This is valid for the duration of this contract and the following 9 months..." AIC comment: This 9 month period MUST be reduced to 0 month
  • It is also very strongly recommended to eliminate any link in the contract between payments due to the expert by the company and payments due to the company by the fund provider. The gross margin taken by companies is supposed to cover the cost of these delays. Indeed, some companies, before to pay their experts, are waiting to be paid by the EU Commission, i.e. generating delays of several months, up to more than one year. This is not acceptable.
