Compliance with Company Policy Always mention the need to conform with company policies, procedures, work schedules, and budgets. Any potential hire who agrees to your contract should specify that agreeing with its terms does not violate any other covenants, laws, trademarks, copyrights, or proprietary arrangements. This is especially important if a noncompete agreement exists. Mention how employment may be affected if specific objectives are not attained. In conjunction with corporate bylaws and after review by an attorney, many agreements address the consequences of potential liability.
Indemnification usually excludes acts that are illegal or contrary to public policy.
Confidentiality Companies should require that reasonable care be taken to keep all information confidential. To discourage employees from leaving to work for competitors, many employment agreements restrict certain employment after termination. The noncompete clause outlines such specifics as time frame, a definition of competitors, proximity, and how the agreement may be enforced. Jurisdiction Spell out under which state's laws the contract will be governed. Entire Agreement Indicate that the contract constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior representations and discussions.
