An Employment Contract between employer and employee sets out important terms of employment, and ensures that both parties understand what is expected of them.
For an employer, having an Employment Contract is a crucial part of protecting your company – particularly because employee lawsuits are increasingly common. When there is no written contract, these lawsuits can be ambiguous and more costly. Although a written agreement will not eliminate the possibility of a lawsuit, it may help to reduce the risk and cost.
Also referred to as an Employment Agreement, it protects employees too, as it clearly lays out the conditions, rights and obligations for each party. Whether you’re an employer or employee, get started on yours now with Rocket Lawyer!
