The happy call came and you were informed that you had been accepted for a new job?

First of all - lots of good luck.

Immediately afterwards, ask for your contract.



An employment contract (or "employment agreement") is a legal document that details, among other things, the content of your work, the accompanying terms and conditions, salary, bonuses and more.

All your rights and obligations should be regulated in the contract and sometimes annexes to the contract will form an integral part of it.

It is the duty of the employer to deliver a signed copy of the contract to the employee no matter what position he holds.



Every word that appears in your employment contract binds both parties, employer and employee and accordingly, things that were closed orally throughout the recruitment process, and are not specified in the contract - are legally invalid and on the face of it, do not exist.

Therefore, before you sign, explains Orit Shemesh, Human Resources Manager at Manpower, it is very worthwhile to read all the sections carefully and mark everything that is not clear or does not agree with you.



Orit's most important tip is "do not be ashamed": if there is a problem with the contract, flood it with your contact in the new workplace - human resources department, direct manager or the placement company that referred you to the job and do not sign until you have all the answers you were looking for. This process has other benefits - it reveals to you the nature and conduct of the company, its transparency, the ability to have an open dialogue with employees, a mutual desire for joint success, a willingness to offer future promises and more.



What are the critical clauses in the contract?



You should read the employment contract more than once, to make sure that everything that has been agreed is in it and that things that were not presented to you do not appear. It is recommended that you pay special attention to the following sections:



* Role content - your core roles and the responsibilities expected of you in the role




* Wage clause - If a "global" wage is agreed upon, ie, a monthly wage with a global supplement for overtime work, check that the "global overtime" clause is specified and how the provision is made for your social debts (social security, etc.)



* The whole issue of pension insurance



* Marine Vacation, illness, convalescence and travel expenses that are guaranteed to you, is everything paid according to the law



* Study fund - Not every organization accepts the benefit of a study fund, but if you do, it is important to make sure the employer's contribution is up to a certain ceiling. .



* Company vehicle - Does the employer deduct participation in the leasing cost, is there a choice to rate the vehicle and what is the tax value you will pay on the vehicle.



* Additional benefits Telephone maintenance, ESL, clothing and more

And what about the fine print?



Contracts tend to be long and full of clauses, which we just tend to skip, which can hurt us in retrospect. There are some "small print", hidden clauses in the contract, which you should look for and check carefully



* Claims of confidentiality or non-competition - sometimes it will take you 12 months from the day of departure until you can work for competitors and this is something you must consider



* If you sign an hourly contract, know In the first three months of work you are not entitled to holiday pay and even then, you must work the day before and the day after the holiday to receive the payment



* Part-time employees - check how the social contributions are made and how the sick days, vacation and so on are calculated



. But when he appears in the contract do we regret it? Lost to us?



"Absolutely not," says Orit. "My recommendation is to raise the issue and talk about it and most importantly to conduct the conversation pleasantly and sensitively, while having an open conversation without creating antagonism.



As long as you have not signed, for them the negotiation phase continues. Once you get an answer, you can "You can meet the commitments. If not, it is better not to sign at all. It also happens from time to time that candidates withdraw nominations and it is better for both parties that this happens at this stage."



And what if we agreed on something, but in the contract it appears differently?



Even in the event of a conflict between the oral summary and the wording of the employment contract, do not hesitate to contact someone who can handle the matter and in any case, do not sign anything that is not acceptable to you.



In some cases, this can also happen without malicious intent on the part of the employer, for example if something was agreed with the recruitment department but not transferred to the direct manager or vice versa, in such a situation, if the organization is run fairly, the clause will be amended and if there is a noticeable change. It is accepted by you.



Finally, who should you consult when getting a contract to sign?



Just before signing, there is a round of consultations recommended:



* In case of specific questions - contact the company's human resources department or the placement company you worked with



* If you have friends or acquaintances who work in human resources or managerial positions, they can help you understand the contract



* If Do you know a lawyer who will agree to take a look, he too will be able to contribute added value from his field of practice



* Use social networks and the Internet in general to check the salary tables accepted in the market and whether what has been offered to you is within the reasonable standard



So as mentioned, first of all - good luck and success in the new workplace, and secondly - do not sign until you are 100 percent sure.
