OVERVIEW
An employment agreement (or contract) is a legally binding agreement which contains a recital of the terms or conditions of employment. Employment agreements are usually memorialized in writing to protect the agreed-upon terms and intent of the parties, although they do not have to be.
COMMON ELEMENTS OF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
duration of the job;
employee responsibilities;
employee benefits (such as health insurance, vacation leave, disability leave, etc.);
grounds for termination;
limitations on the employee's ability to compete with the business once the employee's employment terminates, referred to as a non-compete agreement;
limitations on the employee’s ability to solicit employees of the company, referred to as a non-solicitation agreement;
protection of business trade secrets and client lists;
ownership of the employee's work product,
severance pay, or;
the method for resolving a breach of the agreement.
DAMAGES
Whenever a breach of employment agreement is found, the goal of the law is to put the non-breaching party in the same position (or nearly the same) that the party would have been in had the breach not occurred.
Expectation damage are paid for what the non-breaching party expected to received had the employment agreement not been breached.
Generally, punitive damages are not available to the non-breaching party unless otherwise provided for by the employment agreement.
Attorney’s fees and/or costs of litigation may be awarded if the employment agreement provides for prevailing party attorney’s fees.
OTHER COMMON EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
FEES AND COSTS
Many discrimination laws provide for the successful plaintiff to seek her attorneys' fees and costs incurred during the process. In those instances, employees do not pay the Firm any money out of pocket during the process, at any time.
Militzok Law offers highly competitive and flexible payment plans for small and medium-sized businesses.
