Employment Agreement
In common business practices, the employers are given a free hand on whether to offer an employment agreement to all or some of their workers or not. Thus, these contracts are presented to those who are on the top positions in the company rather than to those regular employees.
However, these agreements should not be based in a discriminatory manner in which the workers are classified due to their gender, race, religion, age, national origin or color and disability. Hence, these contracts should be fare enough for all the employees so that they may perform their duties in the company well and without any prejudice.
Meanwhile, the employers can enjoy various benefits from handing over an employment agreement for the crucial and important posts in their companies. They will not have the uncertainty of being left by these employees without giving them time to look for other people for replacement. Mores so, having a rational non-compete article on these contracts will impede the workers of revealing the company’s procedures and secrets to the other business competitors.
Quite the reverse, the slight disadvantages of bestowing these contracts are having restrictions regarding the dismissal of employees who they may find unproductive and even the impossibility of reducing their benefits.
On the other hand, a well-outlined employment agreement may tackle the following subjects:
- Work position
- The employer’s right to adjust the position
- The agreement duration
- Monetary issues such as salaries, bonuses, benefits and allowances
- Stock options
- Grounds for job termination
- Severance packages in case of employment separation
- The worker’s job description and responsibilities
- The worker’s obligations on confidential matters
- Labor dispute resolution
Nevertheless, drafting a fine and pleasant contract may look as easy as it may seem. In reality, to have the best and the most suitable contract for a certain company, the owner or employer is recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified and reliable corporate lawyer who has the capacity and decent experiences in engaging in this type of job.
