Employment Agreement & Handbook Attorney
Hiring employees is one of the most important steps in growing your business. As job seekers expect more from their employers, it’s equally important for employers to set clear expectations for their team. Whether you’re employing one person or hundreds, well-drafted employment agreements and handbooks are essential to ensure that both you and your employees are protected. These documents establish the groundwork for your relationships, defining responsibilities, compensation, time off and more.
Because every business and position is unique, a one-size-fits-all employment contract simply won’t do. Key details that need to be clearly outlined in any employment agreement or handbook include:
Job information — Outlining each employee’s role, duties, and performance expectations helps to avoid misunderstandings and keeps everyone on the same page.
Compensation and benefits — It’s critical to specify details like salary or hourly rates, bonuses, commissions and other benefits upfront to prevent any future disputes.
Time off — From vacation days to sick leave policies, employees need clarity on what’s available to them. Clear guidelines in the agreement or handbook ensure consistency and transparency.
Expertly Crafted Employment Agreements
Thorough, legally sound employment agreements and handbooks are your first line of defense in managing relationships with your employees. These documents are invaluable if conflicts arise, providing clear references for resolving issues. Without these protections in place, misunderstandings or omissions could lead to unnecessary complications.
