Contractual issues

Contact UAGseafarerHelp if you think your employer has broken or ignored the terms of your contract, or if you have a general concern. We understand that contractual disputes can be complex and daunting in all cases.

To help avoid contractual disputes you should ensure the following:

• You have signed a written employment contract before joining the ship
• You understand all of the terms in your contract before you sign it
• No important information, such as details of wages, is missing from the contract before you sign it
