"There has to be negotiations with the RLPA (Rugby League Players' Association), but it's a concern we have and it's an area where fans are very much aggravated about it," V'landys told AAP.
"I've always said we're going to act on behalf of the fans and we always will because at the end of the day, if you don't have fans, you don't have viewers and you don't have people paying admission, in the end you don't have wages.
"It comes back to what aggravates the fans, and it's been an aggravation for quite a while.
"Not only to the fans but the clubs. We'll address the hard issues."
Employment laws around player contracts are complicated and the NRL is wary of the hidden implications that could arise with any small change or blanket rule.
Details are yet to be discussed by the NRL because of the delicate nature of the laws, with chief executive Andrew Abdo warning changes may not be introduced by next season.
"It depends what the change is ... it's impossible to say," Abdo told AAP.
"We don't even know what we want yet because there's so many unintended consequences that could arise as a result of any change."
However, the topic is expected to be pushed by V'landys and the ARLC over the off-season.
Under the collective bargaining agreement, any changes to employment terms need to be discussed with the RLPA, although boss Clint Newton told AAP they are open to the conversation.
"Matters like this are more complex than they might appear and such significant changes need to be properly considered with all relevant information, including benefits and consequences for those it directly impacts," he said.
"However, we are always willing to work with the NRL and clubs on initiatives that would improve the NRL premiership."
