An employment contract is a written agreement between an employer and employee that sets forth the terms of employment, including start date, role, pay, benefits, and termination conditions, while complying with California law.
Core elements include job title, duties, compensation, benefits, work schedule, confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and termination provisions. Our process includes drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and finalizing the agreement, plus ongoing compliance checks.
A glossary helps you understand common terms used in employment contracts and why they matter to protection and compliance.
At-will employment means either party may end the relationship at any time for any lawful reason, with or without notice, within the bounds of the contract and applicable law.
A non-disclosure agreement protects confidential information by restricting disclosure and use of company information during and after employment.
A non-compete restricts working for competing firms after termination, but in California its enforceability is limited and must comply with state rules.
A non-solicitation clause limits soliciting coworkers or clients after employment and must be reasonable to be enforceable.
