Employment Contract Drafting and Review Services for Global Hiring

HashRoot provides Employer of Record services that let you hire and employ professionals in other countries without establishing a local entity. We act as the legal employer, handling contracts, payroll, and compliance, while you direct the day-to-day work of your global team.

Clear, Well-Structured Agreements for Every Employee You Hire


HashRoot supports employment contract drafting and review so your employment agreements are clear, complete, and suited to each role and location. From core terms to confidentiality and intellectual property clauses, we help you set expectations properly before employees begin work.

What Employment Contracts Should Protect



Clarity on Role and Responsibilities

A contract should state the position, reporting line, duties, and place of work plainly. Clear employment terms and conditions reduce misunderstandings, giving both employer and employee a shared reference for what the role involves.

Defined Pay, Benefits and Working Terms

Compensation, working hours, leave, and benefits should be written down precisely. A well-drafted employee agreement prevents disputes over entitlements and helps payroll and HR teams administer employment consistently from the first day.

Business Confidentiality

Technology professionals often handle code, data, and commercial information. Confidentiality clauses protect sensitive business information during and after employment, setting out what must be kept private and how it may be used.

Ownership of Work and Intellectual Property

When employees build products, software, and ideas, ownership should be unambiguous. Intellectual property clauses confirm that work created for the business belongs to the business, reducing the risk of later disputes.

Fair Probation, Notice and Termination Terms

Probation terms, notice periods, and termination clauses should be clear and lawful. Well-defined exit provisions help both sides understand their obligations and support an orderly process if the employment ends.

Compliance with Local Requirements

Employment law differs by country, covering minimum terms, mandatory benefits, and permitted clauses. Contracts should reflect local requirements so agreements are enforceable, reducing legal risk when you hire across borders.

FAQs

An employment contract is a written agreement between employer and employee setting out role, pay, working terms, and responsibilities. It defines the rights and obligations of both parties.

It typically includes job title, duties, pay, hours, leave, probation terms, notice periods, confidentiality, intellectual property, and termination clauses, adjusted to local legal requirements and the role.

Labor laws vary on minimum notice, leave, mandatory benefits, and permitted clauses. International employment contracts must reflect these local rules to be lawful and enforceable.

Review contracts before hiring, when entering new markets, after legal changes, and when roles or terms change. Regular review keeps agreements accurate, compliant, and aligned with your business.

Amendments record agreed changes, such as role, pay, or location, in writing signed by both parties. Documenting changes properly avoids disputes and keeps employment terms current.
