employment contracts
Hired worker paperwork
Employment contracts are formal agreements between employers and workers specifying terms of a job—duties, compensation, benefits, duration, and conditions for termination.
They range from simple offer letters to elaborate documents with non-compete clauses, confidentiality provisions, and severance terms.
Her employment contract guaranteed six months' notice before termination.
Most workers operate under implied or at-will arrangements rather than written contracts.
