Review an Employment Contract Before Signing

The offer's exciting, the contract's eight pages of dense font, and you're due to sign Friday. This reviews it for the clauses people regret missing: lopsided notice periods, sweeping non-competes, vague bonus terms, restrictive covenants and IP grabs. You give the role and your concerns; it flags what's standard, what's worth questioning, and what to push back on before you commit.

**Review this employment contract for common problem clauses**. Flag issues across these areas:
1. Notice period: is it reciprocal and reasonable?
2. Restrictive covenants: non-compete, non-solicitation, and garden leave. Are they enforceable and proportionate?
3. Intellectual property: does it claim ownership of things you create outside work?
4. Working hours and overtime: are expectations clear?
5. Termination and redundancy: what protections do you have?

For each area, indicate: acceptable / negotiate / red flag, and suggest specific language changes where needed.
