Executive Summary
This employment contract is an official contract between PROCOM Consultants Group Ltd. (Company) and a independent contractor who in this case is the consultant. Currently PROCOM has a Service Provider Agreement with client Allegis Group Services Canada Corporation (Client). When first examining this contract, the legal issues involved in the Terms of the Agreement cover the promises made by both the Company and the Consultant. These promises are legally binding and are enforceable in the court of law. This contract first outlines in the recitals, which are the preliminary parts of the contract and gives a background of the information that must be read before signing the agreement. The contract has thirty-two different clauses and contains a Schedule “A” and Schedule “B”, that looks at the Client Provisions and an undertaking by service provider personnel. This paper will only examine the thirty-two clauses pertaining to the contract between PROCOM and the consultant.

This contract deals specifically with the liability of certain parties in the case of legal disputes, the termination of the employee contract for various reasons and the protection of company or client information and data. All clauses are described in the Description of Clauses section of the paper, and all legal concepts and implications will be examined as a result of a dispute. All legal principles from class will then be applied to the contract, including topics such as knowledge of the law; contractual relationship and the legal risks involved in the creation of a contract and after the contract have come into effect.

The next section in this paper looks at a scenario where the consultant is up for termination. The grounds of termination are described in section 9 of the contract. This section looks at how the company would go about terminating the agreement and what package (if any?) is required to terminate the contract.

When reading over the contract, I found that the contract is very well constructed and covers both parties very well. Issues with the contract and the resulting corrections that should be made are presented. A few issues with the contract are that employees are not protected in the case of termination, and therefore have no job security and that down payments are not made to the consultant. This provides a problem if the Client Agreement is cancelled before the commencement of this agreement, as the consultant believes they are being employed for services to the client. This can cause problems for the consultant as they could be finding new projects or services to be spending their time on. I recommend that the consultant fully reads and understands the contract before agreeing. With Equal Bargaining Power, there is no reason the consultant cannot draft a clause that covers them in case of termination.

Finally concluding remarks are made about the Terms of Agreement and relationship between all three parties, including PROCOM, Allegis and the consultant. Also, I will look at what I have learned about this contract and employee contracts in general.

Introduction

PROCOM carries on the business consisting of providing services to its clients in the field of computer programming, system analysis and design, and providing general consultation services to persons, firms and corporations.
