An employment contract is a written agreement that sets the terms of employment, including duties, compensation, benefits, confidentiality, and termination. It formalizes the relationship to reduce ambiguity and guide performance.
Core elements include job responsibilities, compensation, benefits, duration or at‑will status, confidentiality, non‑solicit or non‑compete terms where allowed, and dispute resolution. The process typically involves needs assessment, drafting, review, negotiation, and final execution.
This glossary explains common terms you’ll see in employment contracts, helping you understand rights, obligations, and options.
An offer and its acceptance form a binding contract when the terms are communicated and agreed upon by both parties.
