Director Service Agreement Template

Description

This template director service agreement is similar to an employee contract of employment and is drafted in accordance with the Employment Rights Act. It should be used for the employment of a director in a company. This detailed 11-page template, which can be downloaded immediately (no need to sign up), covers the full range of basics, for example job title, hours of work, and remuneration, as well as a number of more descriptive aspects of the contract, for example the duties that the director is expected to undertake, absence from work for various reasons, and termination.

This template also covers a range of extended obligations on the part of the director (making this contract different to a standard contract of employment), for example how outside interests should be limited, restrictions following termination, a strict ethics code to cover conflicts of interest, locking down intellectual property and confidential information to the company, and a number of other ‘good practice’ provisions. The template is designed to allow existing clauses to be chopped and changed easily, as well as new items to be inserted, according to your specific requirements.

The director service agreement template is one of our most popular products, having been downloaded over a thousand times since the start of 2015.
