My comment:

This can be done, provided that.....

In my opinion, 'sans que' translates best as 'provided that'

Could also be 'as long as' instead of 'provided that. Sorry for the omission of this in my original answer.

Yes, this is how I would word this. And you are correct, you could substitute "as long as" for "provided", but I prefer "provided". This seems to flow the best and is not too literal.

Thanks for your support, Gina, but note Mr. Butt's observation about the missing negative. Taking everything into consideration therefore, the final answer should be: "Unless the employee objects to a modification of his contract".
