clause 10 is a bit iffy but apart from that it all looks good...(a teacher has told me that his officetel came with a lot of stuff, including things like a toaster, so im not too worried about the furnishings, that is taken care of). |

You may want to ask for more details on clause 10 before you sign - whether documentable warnings will be given if such breaches in behaviour are noted, etc. It sounds like a convenient way to squeeze out of paying a bonus at the last minute, otherwise.
FYI though, there's a contract review thread that you might have better luck with. |
