Employment Contract
An employment contract draft in minutes — with an eye on the Documentation Act, with explained options for fixed terms, overtime and non-compete clauses.
An employment contract governs the essential terms of an employment relationship: duties, working hours, remuneration, leave and termination. The wizard meets the written-form requirements of the Documentation Act (NachwG) and explains every choice — from fixed-term employment without cause (§ 14 Abs. 2 TzBfG) to a transparent overtime rule and post-contractual non-competition with compensation.

Who it is for: SMEs, start-ups and mid-sized companies without an applicable collective agreement that are hiring staff and want to set up the contract carefully.
For complex fields such as the scope of services or the purpose, you can request a suggestion via the sparkle button — the suggestion stays editable before it enters the contract.
Once created, you can hand the contract to a suitable lawyer from our network with one click — including full text and metadata.
For post-contractual non-competition, chains of fixed-term contracts, senior employees or special protection against dismissal (severe disability, pregnancy) we recommend legal review.
Our templates are ready-made documents that you adapt to your case. They are not legal advice and do not replace a review by a lawyer; we give no guarantee of correctness, completeness or up-to-dateness. Use is at your own responsibility.
