The employment contract regulates the legal framework conditions between the employer and the employee. In general, anything may be agreed in it that does not contravene applicable statutory provisions. Although most employment contracts today are largely standardised, there are always disputes between employer and employee about the employment contract or the consequences arising from it. Both employers and employees should therefore have a vital interest in ensuring that an employment contract is formulated as far as possible in their favour. As a rule, this does not even mean that the other party is disadvantaged, but that an attempt is made to take possible points of dispute into account in advance and to deal with them appropriately. Given the scope of German labour law, however, this is not a job for laymen. An experienced lawyer for employment contracts and labour law is actually essential here.
Having an existing employment contract checked can be useful for both employees and employers. For example, employees can find out whether the employer is allowed to demand certain benefits from them or not. It can also reveal possible claims against the employer that you were previously unaware of. As an employer, you will gain security and more satisfied employees if you have your employment contract checked for problematic content.

When accepting a new job, it is always advisable to have the employment contract checked by an experienced lawyer beforehand. Only a lawyer can tell you whether the employment contract is really legally compliant and whether it could cause problems in the event of a dispute (e.g. dismissal, warning, etc.). The better paid the new job is and the more responsibility you have to bear in your new job, the more careful you should be when checking your employment contract.

High and higher earners in particular quickly run into problems when something changes in their current income situation. The basis for this is usually an employment contract. If problems arise here, it is often difficult to defend oneself against the employer later on.
Naturally. For entrepreneurs, the employment contract with employees is almost always the second most important contract after the purchase or service contract. A good employment contract is extremely important in order to be able to use the narrow limits of German labour law at all.
