Is your employment contract fair?
Know what you're agreeing to before signing your employment contract. Upload your job offer or agreement for a fast new job contract review. Contractam will check your employment contract against the Fair Work Act — flagging career-freezing non-competes, leave below the legal minimum, and unpaid overtime.

Signed without a lawyer? You're not alone.
Most Australians sign an agreement without legal advice. The problem is — those documents are written by an employer's lawyer to protect the business, not you. Whether you are trying to review a job offer before you sign, or trying to understand a new work contract for a career move, you deserve to know what you are agreeing to.
Our tool helps you instantly check if you are looking at an unfair employment contract by flagging the three most common traps:
Trap 1: Leave you can't rely on
"Annual leave per company policy" isn't the legal minimum. If you don't run a job contract check first, you won't find out your true entitlements until you actually try to take time off.
Trap 2: A non-compete you didn't notice
One hidden clause can stop you from working in your industry for up to 12 months. Most people only notice this severe restriction when it's already too late.
Trap 3: A job description that means nothing
"Duties as required" lets them change your role, hours, or location without asking. Many workers ask "is this employment contract normal?" It sounds standard, but it quietly gives the company total control over your schedule.
The truth about your contract. In 4 minutes.
Get a plain-English report with zero jargon and zero guessing. Whether you want to analyse your employment contract, our system allows you to safely read your employment contract line-by-line. You will finally understand your employment contract completely — without needing a law degree.
Is your pay actually legal?
Before you commit, it's vital to ask: "is my employment contract legal?" We instantly check your base pay rate against Modern Award minimums and the Fair Work Act so you know if you are being underpaid — before you sign or right now.
What does each clause actually mean?
Every single clause is broken down and explained simply. Our automated analysis helps you answer the ultimate question: "is my employment contract fair?"
What can they legally do to you?
Career-freezing non-competes, hidden probation traps, and tricky overtime clauses are clearly flagged and explained so you know exactly what to push back on during your negotiation.
What our AI checks for legal compliance
Every clause checked against the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, and National Employment Standards.
1. Salary & wages
Is your pay rate legal? Checked against Modern Award minimums and the Fair Work Act.
2. Leave entitlements
Annual, sick, and parental leave checked against the National Employment Standards legal minimums.
3. Restraint of trade
Can they stop you working in your industry after you leave? Assessed against Australian common law.
4. Notice periods
Are you locked in longer than the Fair Work Act allows?
5. Overtime clauses
"Reasonable additional hours" often means unpaid overtime. Checked against NES maximum weekly hours rules.
6. Probation periods
What are your rights if they let you go during probation? Assessed under the Fair Work Act.
7. Redundancy rights
Are your payout entitlements protected under the National Employment Standards — or quietly removed?
8. Job descriptions
"Duties as required" checked against your rights under Australian employment law.
9. Intellectual property
Does your contract claim ownership of work you do outside of your contracted hours?
10. Public holiday pay
Are you entitled to penalty rates under the Fair Work Act — or has that been signed away?
11. Superannuation
Is your super rate correct under ATO requirements and paid on time?
12. Termination clauses
Can they let you go without proper notice or process under the Fair Work Act?
Every clause scored three ways.
Legal. Fair. Clear. Most contracts fail on at least one. You'll know exactly which — and what to do about it.
Legal — Is it legal?
Our AI checks every clause against the Fair Work Act and National Employment Standards. Illegal terms flagged immediately.
Fair — Is it fair?
Legal doesn't mean fair. Our AI flags clauses that technically comply with the law but are heavily weighted against you.
Clear — Is it clear?
Vague language is a trap. Our AI flags every clause that's deliberately unclear — so it can't be used against you later.

What Australians found when they checked
Found a non-compete that would've blocked me from freelancing for 12 months. Contractam caught it in minutes. Negotiated it down to 3 months before I signed.
My bonus was listed as 'discretionary' even if I hit all KPIs. Contractam flagged it as unfair. Used their script and got clear bonus triggers tied to project delivery written into my contract.
Leave was listed as 'per company policy' not the NES. Contractam caught it. Got 4 weeks annual leave in writing before signing.
I nearly signed a contract with 6-month probation and only 1 day notice either way. Contractam flagged it as heavily one-sided. Pushed back using their wording and got 2 weeks notice locked in before I started.
My contract had a 2-year non-compete covering all of Sydney. Contractam flagged it as unenforceable and gave me a script. Got it reduced to 5km and 6 months before signing.
Had a 12-month non-solicit stopping me from talking to any client I'd ever met. Contractam said it was too broad. Got it narrowed to my direct accounts only before I signed.
Questions people ask before they upload
Here's what people ask before they check their contract — signed or not.
-
Is this legal advice?
No. Contractam provides contract analysis and information, not legal advice. For complex legal matters or disputes, consult a qualified Australian lawyer.
-
Why not just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT doesn't know Australian employment law. It can't check your contract against the Fair Work Act, NES, or Modern Awards. Contractam is built specifically for Australian contracts — and scores every clause against actual legal standards.
-
How long does the analysis take?
3-4 minutes. Upload your contract and you'll have a full report with risk scores, explanations, and negotiation scripts before your coffee gets cold.
-
What if my contract is complex or unusual?
Contractam handles contracts up to 200 pages. If something's unclear, Ask Louis — our AI assistant — can answer your specific questions about any clause.
-
Is my contract data private?
Yes. Your contract is encrypted, stored securely, and never shared with third parties. Only you can access your analysis. We don't use your data to train AI models.
