As an employer in the tech space, you no doubt have several balls in the air at any given time. One ball you cannot afford to drop is your workers’ entitlements. Ensuring their rights are being met (for example, receiving the correct pay) is essential, or you risk legal claims, fines and reputational damage.

Equally, you also need to protect your tech business’ assets and intellectual property by having essential contracts and policies in place.

To help you understand your obligations and rights, Ruby Hollinshead (Senior Associate) explains:

the difference between employees, contractors and their entitlements;
protecting your intellectual property and confidential information;
deterring employees from joining or starting competing businesses through restraints of trade; and
minimum entitlements, remuneration options (ESOPS and alternative policies).
