A thorough review of an employment contract is essential to both the employer and the employee.
If you’re an employee, you want everything you discussed verbally to be included in the written contract or an offer letter. You want your title and work duties spelled out, as well as salary, additional benefits in the form of vacation time, health insurance, stock options, etc. If there’s an employment handbook, it would need to be reviewed in conjunction with the offer letter / employment agreement.
If you are an employer, then expertly crafted employment agreement can shield you from liability down the road and save you a lot of money. There are special considerations that vary state to state when it comes to Noncompete and Non-solicitation clauses; depending on the type of position, requirements such as maintaining certain licenses or assignment of Intellectual Property rights may need to be spelled out.
