Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Why do I need a separate employment agreement if I already issue an offer letter?+

Indian practice recommends a brief offer letter followed by a detailed employment agreement to capture protective provisions, statutory compliance, and policy incorporation in more depth than an offer letter typically allows.

Are post-employment non-compete clauses enforceable under this agreement?+

Post-employment non-compete clauses are generally viewed as void restraints of trade under Section 27, so this template treats them cautiously and leans on in-term non-compete, confidentiality, and non-solicitation instead.

What notice period is reasonable and lawful in India?+

There is no fixed statutory notice period for all employees, and Indian employers commonly use 30–90 days, subject to state laws, standing orders, and reasonableness in specific circumstances.

Can I refer disputes to arbitration under this agreement?+

Yes, if you enable the arbitration clause, most contractual disputes (other than some statutory or labour disputes reserved for specialised forums) can be referred to arbitration in India.

Does the agreement automatically override HR policies?+

No; the agreement and policies should be read together. If there is a conflict, this agreement usually prevails, but statutory provisions will always override both.
