Experienced Employment Contract Drafting and Review

Employment contracts vary widely from industry to industry.
However, there are basic topics that are common for most types of employment. Some of these include:
- Job title and scope of responsibility
- Start date
- Compensation and bonuses
- Benefit package
- Grounds and terms of termination
- Severance packages
- Performance standards
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Dispute resolution
- Length of employment
- Stock options
- Relocation expenses
Contract Violations
A breach of contract occurs when the employee or the employer fails to perform their duties under the contract terms. When a violation occurs, the non-breaching party may be entitled to damages in a court of law. If dispute resolution is included in the contract, it is necessary to follow the procedure outlined in the agreement.
Examples of Common Remedies are:
- Modifying an employment contract to reflect a change in circumstances
- Reinstating an employee to their former position
- An employer recovering losses it has suffered from an employee
- Awarding payment for work that was negotiated but not granted
