Frequently Asked Questions

How does the MSP Contract Grader work?
Paste your full MSP employment contract text into the tool. It scans for protective clauses, red flags, and missing terms, then assigns a letter grade from A to F based on how balanced and fair the contract is.
What makes an MSP contract a good contract?
A fair MSP contract includes clear termination terms, reasonable notice periods, defined working hours, overtime provisions, IP carve-outs for personal work, mutual non-compete limits, performance review mechanisms, and fair confidentiality scope.
What if my contract gets a low grade?
A low grade doesn't mean the contract is illegal — it means it heavily favours the MSP. Use the specific recommendations to negotiate improvements before signing. See our MSP Contract Checklist for a full breakdown.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool provides general guidance based on common contract patterns in the Australian MSP industry. For legally binding advice, consult an employment lawyer.
Can I share my contract grade?
Yes. After grading, you can copy a shareable link that encodes your results, or screenshot the result card to share on social media.
