Employment Contract

Employment Contract Attorney California

Our seasoned Employment Contract Attorneys know that contracts are not one size fits all. Which means that your company may need several different kinds of contracts to cover all your employees. This includes employees ranging from hourly non-exempt employees, salaried employees, seasonal employees, and corporate officers. Having an experienced Employment Contract Attorney can help you draft the proper contracts for your company.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

The amounts of all kinds of compensation, whether the employee earns an hourly wage, salary, bonuses, incentives, or commissions;
The nature of work expected, establishing if the employment is full-time or part-time;
The range of time they are expected to work, such as “30 hours a week or less,” or “40-50 hours a week or more”;
And the types and/or amounts of work-related expenses you will (or will not) reimburse.

Protect your company’s personal information by including confidentiality provisions in the employment agreement and having a separate confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement. Our experienced Employment Contract Lawyers assist you in generating these particular non-disclosure provisions – or a separate agreement – tailored to any major proprietary information you want to protect, including your trade secrets.

The following specify the types of company’s employment agreement provisions:

Non-Exempt, Hourly-Paid Employees Agreement

Numerous companies recently hire a majority of their hourly employees on a part-time basis to control costs associated with employees who work over 40 hours a week and earn benefits. If you plan for an employee to be part-time with the chance to pick up extra shifts or hours, you should require the employee to notify a supervisor if their total hours approach 40 per week. For a list of laws and regulations regarding details that new employees must be provided with at the time of their hire.

Salaried “Exempt” Employees Agreement

A salaried employee may be “exempt” from many of the California Labor Code’s wage and hour laws. But, to be considered exempt, salaried employees must have the following:

Be paid at least double the minimum wage if they are a full-time (40 hours a week) employee;
Perform “white collar” work, such as professional, clerical, administrative or executive duties;
And be allowed to exercise independent judgment in their work.

Executives Agreement

Company officers, directors and other executive-level employees must have individualized employment agreements. Primarily, the agreement should clearly list the scope of executive responsibilities and duties. Since most executives will likely not serve “at will,” you must also clearly define the circumstances under which they can be let go. A guaranteed severance package in the event their employment is terminated should also be detailed in the agreement.
