This glossary explains common terms you may see in employment contracts and related processes.
A status where either party can end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws and public policy.

Options include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation, each with different costs, timelines, privacy implications, and levels of control.

Non-compete restrictions are heavily restricted in California; most employees may not be barred from working for competitors after leaving a job. However, there can be limited carve-outs in certain scenarios.

Contract review time varies; it depends on length and complexity. A simple agreement may take a few days, while a comprehensive review may take longer.
