Harry contracts of employment and contracts for employment are not always negotiable.
More often than not the power holder is the person/entity offering the contract, not the intended signatory of the contract.
This power differential changes when the intended signatory is in a position to bargain because they are being sought out by the contract holder, eg already established names (in whatever field).
Until then - it's likely to be: the companies way or the highway!!
I don't know about where you live but in Australia it is just not on that a lawyer should be required prior to entering into a contract either of or for employment. The contracts have to be written in language that can be readily understood, with all their clauses clearly stated.
In the matter that is the topic of this thread ..... it is yet to be determined whether there is a matter that needs to be remedied or not, and whether there was a less than open disclosure of the monies to be paid out in the terms of the contract.
