Employment Contract Attorney in Albuquerque
What Is An Employment Contract?
Employment contracts are used for many different types of jobs. They set forth the terms and conditions of a person’s employment. Employment agreements typically cover compensation, health benefits, vacation and sick leave, length of employment, the employee’s duties and responsibilities, how disputes will be resolved and reasons for termination. They can also include noncompetition clauses, confidentiality clauses, trade secret protection for the employer, stock options and even grievance procedures. If you are being asked to sign an employment contract, have it reviewed by an attorney. An employment lawyer will make sure you understand exactly what you are committing yourself to, and can help negotiate any modifications or changes that may be needed.
